I entered rehab for drug addiction in 2008. I live in Middle Tennessee, so I drove to Nashville late on my 21st birthday (messed up out of my mind) and somehow found my way to Cumberland Heights (which was a GREAT facility). I was there for 3 weeks (inpatient). While I was there, Steve came in to perform Lonesome Ornery and Mean, Seven Bridges Road, and then he sang about 3 or 4 songs that he wrote about getting clean. There was one song that made me cry like a baby. Those songs were so relatable. That's something I'll never forget. I became a real fan that day.
"I had known Steve Young's music long before I met the man himself. Three or four of the songs on my all time 'good list' had been written by the same person and I didn't even know it. "In Nashville, we finally did meet and become friends. I've seen him play many times since, and he never fails to amaze me. His guitar playing is beautiful, and his voice speaks for itself. "For that voice, that guitar, and those songs to come together in one person is a wonder. "I can't say enough about Steve Young without starting to sound silly. He is a spiritual hero of mine, and I love him." - Townes Van Zandt, January 1991
Steve Passed on in 2016. I remember him from the late 1980s when I opened two shows for him in the N.W. US. (Still a big deal to me in 2024). I met him in Nashville in the mid 1980s when he did "Longtime Ryder." My ex Girlfriend Jackie helped us out on the shows and took my picture with my old camera as I did of Steve when not performing. It's on "Solo/Live" 1991, Watermellon Records. Thanks and enjoy any Steve Young you can find?
Rest in peace Steve lost him in early 2016 along with so many other great wants what a horrible fucking year for musician deaths David Bowie Glenn Frey in the list just went on and on all the way through December. Steve was had a fall at his house cracked his head open never recovered another one of head trauma like in 1979 when we lost a beautiful voice of Sandy Denny another one head trauma sustained in a fall. love watching heartworn highways love the opening of at the Alabama Highway song that Steve's does in the beginning just fantastic and of course everybody knows Seven Bridges Road but some great stuff we got from Steve the intensity of what he sings As what I really loved. Montgomery in the rain is another phenomenal one written from a Southerners perspective that many people are surprised to find out the history of
I consider myself so lucky to count Steve Young among my music discoveries through my life . Been following him now for over thirty years . So happy to find this gem with him and son Jubal still doing what he cant stop doing , and that is making magic with that voice . America , here is your musical Royalty .
beauty... love love love this, every second. the voice and the strings and the two men who commanded them ... and so many thanks to those who recorded it all.
Mr Steve Young is without a doubt one of the most gifted Singer ~ Songwriter and Guitarist....I Love all his music and I'm thrilled with this most wonderful video....It gives such a personal touch to the song....sung with perfect emotions!! ...Thank You Steve and Jubal Lee, I so enjoyed listening...many times already :) ~Marianne...
Thank you so very much for posting this, to me this is priceless , Steve is one of my favourite people in the whole world, Steve and Jubal Lee , both are so cool but in different ways. Im hoping they will come and play in N,Ireland some day. Love to all.
Steve is a national treasure! Very nicely captured and I hope this will be made public soon, as I'd love to share it to help promote our house concert with Steve and Jubal Lee on June 28.
This sentiment, penned by Utah Phillips, who never performed this (his own) song, because he said he didn't sing love songs...I now apply to the feelings I have for all those who have taken advantage of a great, diverse and once generous people--under the guise of public service--and especially those individuals in particular who now hold seats in the United States Congress...and, yes, may they feel our pain--the pain of betrayal..
I only know that Gene Clark did a little work on Steve's original solo album for A&M in 1969 which was "Rock, Salt & Nails". If there's more I can't recall.
Hi Kim..we met several times in Ronan Montana over the years. Twice listening to Steve and you play at a coffee house and again at a restaurant. You were all damn fine pickers and singers.he played Silver Lake for me and gave me time on the stage. A true gentleman and great guy. Hope things are going well for you wherever you are. All my best to you... David B
@@davidbolinger8059 Ah, just saw this posting! Thanks for the memories, those were good times. I'm well and living outside Nashville, laying low for now, but I miss Montana at times. Hope you are well also. Kim

Two years on and Steve has left us. Thanks for all that you gave us. Rest in peace 💕💐.
Jubal does a nice job backing up his father.
Miss your being here Steven T. Young
I saw him in the 80's twice in the Netherlands once in Harpel and once in Winschoten. It was great.
sensazionale. C'è l'anima, il cuore, la vita. Grande!

Steve Young is my favorite musician/singer/songwriter/guitarist ever. Simply the BEST.
The kind of voice hat just improves with age! His son is doin some fine picking too

Missing you Steve!
I knew Elvis wasn't dead!
D'Ascoyne Elvis is overrated 😊

I wish there was a lesson to this version. Every other one on TH-cam isn’t in the correct key.

sir, this is a Wendy's
I heard hec ecorded some sides with Gene Clark. Does anyone know if that's true and if so where one can find the recordings?
I only know that Gene Clark did a little work on Steve's original solo album for A&M in 1969 which was "Rock, Salt & Nails". If there's more I can't recall.

Why not show them playing the damn guitar?
