Real Gone Music

Steve Young was an American country music singer, songwriter, and guitarist. Born on July 12th, 1942 in Newnan, Georgia, he is best known for his song "Seven Bridges Road" featured on his albums Rock Salt And Nails, Seven Bridges Road & No Place To Fall. Considered a pioneer of Country Rock, Americana, and alternative country sounds, Young played a vital role in the 'outlaw movement' that supported the careers of Waylon Jennings and Hank Williams Jr., among others.

Throughout his career, Steve Young's music showcased his exceptional talent as both a singer and songwriter. His unique blend of genres influenced many artists who followed in his footsteps. Some similar performers include Terry Allen, Guy Clark, Kinky Friedman, Billy Joe Shaver, Blaze Foley and more.

Despite passing away on March 17th, 2016 in Nashville Tennessee at the age of 73*, Steve Young's impact on country music continues to be felt today. His contributions to the genre will forever be remembered by fans around the world.

Folks can argue if Steve Young’s debut Rock, Salt and Nails is the first “outlaw country” album, but there is no argument that it’s one of the best. Featuring a star-studded line-up of like-minded players like Gram Parsons, Gene Clark, James Burton, Chris Ethridge, and Bernie Leadon, this 1969 record starts out with Young’s impassioned interpretation of the O.V. Wright/Otis Redding classic “That’s How Strong My Love Is,” which offers an emphatic bookend to Parsons’ own country-soul masterpiece “Dark End of the Street,” recorded the same year with the Flying Burrito Brothers. The rest of the record (produced by Tommy LiPuma) is a beautifully-paced blend of covers and originals, highlighted by Young’s immortal “Seven Bridges Road,” memorably covered by The Eagles among many others. Rock, Salt and Nails has somehow never been reissued on vinyl in the U.S.; our pressing comes in natural, “rock salt” vinyl. A flat-out masterpiece.
