Oh Yes I Can is the second solo studio album by David Crosby. It was released on January 23, 1989, 18 years on from his previous solo release, If I Could Only Remember My Name .
Four songs ("Drive My Car", "Distances", "Melody" and "Flying Man") had been slated to appear on Crosby's unfinished 1979-1981 Capitol Records solo album and were subsequently rejected for inclusion in Crosby, Stills & Nash projects. The group had attempted to record "Drive My Car" and "Distances" during aborted 1978 sessions for a follow-up to CSN (1977). One of the recordings from this time, "Drive My Car," was included in the trio's 1991 box set, CSN .
