On this day March 27 1986 Graham Nash released his fourth solo studio album Innocent Eyes. Known for his work with The Hollies and Crosby Stills and Nash this album saw Nash embracing a more contemporary 80s pop and reggae influenced sound while still delivering his signature thoughtful lyrics.
Innocent Eyes reached number 136 on the US Billboard charts. While it didn’t reach the commercial success of his earlier solo work the album included reflective tracks like Chippin' Away which later gained attention for its hopeful message and was even performed during the fall of the Berlin Wall.
80s insight: Chippin' Away became an anthem of peace and unity and was performed by Nash during a 1989 concert at the Berlin Wall as it was coming down.
