| “Using
the cliché ‘The Apple Doesn't Fall Far From the Tree’
one can certainly hear that the bloodline from Jubal's father,
Steve Young, to Jubal has not strayed. "Jubal
Lee Young makes genuine top class Americana country-rock; melodic,
story-telling and attention-seeking. It reminds me of a young
Steve Earle and I'm convinced that this is just the beginning
of a smashing career....." "He's such a great singer... I think
the songs are real, real good. I am a fan." "Open Letter to Steve Young: Hey man,
your boy rocks!" "His songs imply a reckless background,
and when he bites into a Dylanesque rocker like "Greed Is the
Creed," he shows a fierceness that can't be faked." "Young's vocals are strong and one
is reminded at times of a young Steve Earle." "Here you have one of the finest singers
that the Americana genre has produced. He's got that elusive thing,
a sound. When he opens his mouth, what comes out just sounds
good." "Jubal goes out on the edge and doesn't
just survive, He triumphs. There is an acceptance of The Great What
Is, an unflinching attitude that blossoms into a flat-out joy in
being alive." "[Young] follows the steps of his father,
folding folk and rock into gritty tunes that embody the spirit of
vintage '70s country soul." "It is extremely difficult to classify
Jubal Lee Young's music on his new album. There are some strong
singer/songwriter-influences meeting rootsy country-rock with a
little bit of blues and Irish folk. But, hey, you can call it what
you want - It's a bloody great album!" "Jubal Lee Young has created a classic, timeless album, with the emphasis on traditional singer-songwriter rock, with a little bit of plain ol' country music thrown in, a small nod to some Texas-blues, and a great love for classic, hook-laden pop music. And for once, the sound really matches the songs in quality - Brilliant!" - Ola Karlsson, Smålandsposten "...you wouldn't need
to know anything about Jubal Lee Young's antecedents to recognize
a major talent here." |
