Chanteur
Country US né le 12 Juillet 1942 à Newman (Georgie). Steve Young a fait parti de Stone
Country. Il est le père de Jubal
Lee Young. Il est décédé le 17 Mars 2016.
A singer,
tunesmith, and purveyor of what he dubbed "Southern music" -- a brew of country,
folk, rock, blues, gospel, and Celtic styles -- Steve Young was a songwriter's
songwriter, an acclaimed performer whose work found its greatest commercial
success in the hands of other artists and earned him praise from the likes of Waylon
Jennings, Townes Van Zandt, and Lucinda
Williams. Born in Georgia and raised throughout the South, by his teens Young was
already playing guitar and writing his own songs. In the early '60s, he moved to
New York City and became affiliated with the burgeoning Greenwich Village folk
music scene. After a brief return to Alabama, where he'd spent time growing up,
he settled in California in 1964.
On the West Coast, Young found work as a postal carrier while striking up
friendships with the likes of Stephen Stills and Van Dyke Parks. A tenure with
the psychedelic folk unit Stone
Country yielded an eponymous 1968 LP, and a year later Young issued his solo
debut, Rock Salt & Nails, a country-rock excursion featuring cameos by Gram
Parsons, Chris
Hillman, and Gene
Clark. He moved to Reprise in 1971, and, with the title track of that year's Seven
Bridges Road, he offered perhaps his best-known composition, popularized through
a series of covers by artists like the
Eagles, Joan Baez, Rita
Coolidge, and Ian Matthews. He had another tremendous success when Waylon
Jennings covered "Lonesome, On'ry and Mean" in 1973, turning it into a
signature anthem of the outlaw country movement; later on, Hank
Williams, Jr. notched a hit with "Montgomery in the Rain." As for his
recording career, Young released 1975's Honky Tonk Man on the tiny Mountain
Railroad label before his songwriting success earned him a shot with RCA. The
result arrived with two excellent albums, 1976's Renegade Picker and 1978's No
Place to Fall.
Despite his success as a songwriter, Young flirted with the charts but never
rose beyond a devoted cult following. He spent the majority of the 1980s touring
the world, garnering a reputation as a standout live performer, and released
occasional records like 1982's To Satisfy You, 1987's Look Homeward Angel, and
1990's Long Time Rider, the latter two of which were recorded in the Netherlands.
The trend continued into the next decade, and in 1991 he issued his first
concert recording, Solo/Live, an acoustic collection summarizing his career to
date along with pop and soul covers like "You Don't Miss Your Water" and "Drift
Away." A second LP on Watermelon, Switchblades of Love, followed two years later
and continued his creative renaissance, but he fell silent for much of the rest
of the '90s. In early 2000, he finally returned with Primal Young on the
Appleseed label. Songlines Revisited, Vol. 1 appeared in 2006.
In the latter years of his career, Young made occasional live performances and
spent his spare time in his home recording studio. Young died in Nashville on
March 17, 2016. His son Jubal
Lee Young, a singer and songwriter in his own right, posted a eulogy online.
"While it is a sad occasion, he was also the last person who could be content to
be trapped in a broken mind and body," Jubal wrote of his father. "He was far
too independent and adventurous. I celebrate his freedom, as well, and I am
grateful for the time we had. A true original."
