Some Nice Things People Have Said

Open Letter to Steve Young: Hey man, your boy rocks!

It's his musical invention, his poetic gifts, his willingness to share what optimism he maintains in a doubtful time in America and beyond. What melodies! He takes his listener both inside-and-outside-the-box.
- Van Dyke Parks

Jubal goes out on the edge and doesn't just survive, he triumphs. There is an acceptance of The Great What Is, an unflinching attitude that blossoms into a flat-out joy in being alive.

About Jubal Lee Young

Jubal Lee Young’s songs are reckless, deep and spiritual — meticulously crafted, delivered by an amazing voice that can go in a heartbeat from a falsetto whisper to a lion’s roar.

Jubal Lee Young is the only son of singer-songwriter Steve Young (Seven Bridges Road, Lonesome On’ry and Mean) and Terrye Newkirk (My Oklahoma, Come Home, Daddy).

He grew up around the best of the 70s and 80s Country, Folk, and Bluegrass artists, his parents’ amazing circle of famous and infamous friends. Jubal's first introduction to rock 'n roll included listening to his mother’s old Motown and Elvis 45’s.

Then he discovered well-worn copies of such great albums as the Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper and Dylan’s Highway 61 Revisited. Those piqued his interest in more rock artists of that era and beyond. Jubal cites bands and artists such as Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, AC/DC, Dire Straits, and Tom Petty amongst his musical heroes.

"Most of my heroes have been those people who just did what they did, without too much regard for what other people might like. From Mozart to Waylon and all points in between. I guess you’d have to take my dad into account, too. I certainly grew up watching him insist on being an individual. We're a lot alike in that way."

So here’s a young rocker who has experienced life’s darker sides, yet transcends them in his songs. Don’t think that tamed him down; he just chose a different road. Along the way, he came up with a unique sound that could be an unexpected rebirth of Southern Rock— encompassing the diverse styles of the musically fertile Southland, but with a genius for intelligent lyrics and wry humor that is altogether fresh.

On Young's new album, the opening songs -- Not Another Beautiful Day and A Thousand Ways to Say Goodbye -- rock hard, complete with powerhouse drums, blazing slide and wah-wah guitars, infectious choruses, and mighty harmonies.

Jubal brings down the tempo on For Sara and Cradled in Love, songs of love and profound appreciation of life.

Jig, a duet with his father, Steve Young, explores their mystical roots, the bonds between young and old. Reaching way back to their Celtic origins, the pair's voices blend like waves --a touching testimony of living folk music.

There’s the story of a Civil War soldier in As I Lay Dying, the George Harrison-inspired Free, a touch of Cow Punk on Someday, the tender 6/8 Country ballad Falling for You.

Then, master songwriter David Olney contributes The Way I Am, which Jubal cites as one of his main inspirations when he was a budding young songwriter.

Jubal Lee Young has learned from the greats, first- hand, right there at the kitchen table. You can hear it — he’s the real deal.
