MySpace a place for friends

The only son of singer-songwriter Steve Young (Seven Bridges Road, Lonesome Onry and Mean) and Terrye Newkirk (My Oklahoma, Come Home, Daddy), Jubal grew up around the best of the 70's and 80's Country, Folk, and Bluegrass artists, who happened to be his parents amazing circle of famous and infamous friends.

Young has experienced life's darker sides, yet transcends them in his songs. Along the way, he came up with a unique sound that encompasses the diverse styles of the musically fertile Southland, but with a genius for intelligent lyrics and wry humor that is altogether fresh.

Jubal Lee Young is a musical force to watch for. Intrinsically talented, this Nashville native's newest, self-titled CD is seamlessly lined with his original writing, an exciting voice and sound that instills a thrill to the adventure. Here is no complacent effort: you feel him stretch with a motivation instilled from the sheer joy of survival, berating the corrupt, bewildered by loss, yearning to love and to realize some exalted goal. His is a voice both commanding and free, attached to a decent conscience, a fierce mind, and set to the kind of melody that imbeds itself long after the song is heard.

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.

"Jubal Lee Young" is available now through CD Baby.
