I have been a fan of Jesse Colin Young as long as his records were available. However; I never read fan magazines or paid much attention to "the music field". If I saw a Jesse Colin Young album, I bought it. Unfortunately I never saw any for a long time. I first bought "The Soul of a City Boy" and then I bought his second album, "Young Blood" (or something close to that name). Then he just disappeared. Of course, you people all know that a group was formed called "The Youngbloods" and Jesse Colin Young was part of that group. Recently I had the chance to watch him perform in a small club high atop a building in Salt Lake City. After the performance we talked and I bought a third Jesse Colin Young album. I put my address on a list he had there to be notified of "new releases". My question is this: When? He sang a song that night about the highway ( generic blues plaint of trips into nowhere ) that was so hauntingly beautiful that I can't wait to play it for my friends... I also want to know where I find the names of "The Youngblood's" albums. I'd like to pick up some JCY albums I missed the first time around. The reason this is here is that Jesse Colin Young is a folksinger on the three albums that I have... and from our talk I got the impression that he lives in Mill Valley. There are a lot of folks on the net from that area ( perhaps Marin County, tho ). I thought maybe, perhaps one of his friends could answer my question. I'ld look him up myself if I were still out in that area but fortunately I'm not... Thanks Dave Wade
