Steve Young is the American Troubador, – a pioneer of alt-country and Americana music and writer-composer of songs that are considered masterpieces. Among the popular favorites are "Seven Bridges Road," recorded by The Eagles, Dolly Parton, Joan Baez and a dozen more; "Lonesome, On’ry and Mean," Waylon Jennings’ signature tune, and recently recorded by Henry Rollins and Travis Tritt; and the classic "Montgomery in the Rain," a hit for Hank Williams Jr.
With his no-holds-barred baritone and lightning-fast, finger-style guitar, Steve transports his audience into the musical soul of America. His contemporary edge dances with the time-honored traditions of American music. With a vibrant repertoire that draws from Roots, Appalachian, Blues, Country, Americana, Southern Gospel, Celtic and Tejano, he is living proof of the force of true roots music.

Steve is on tour in support of his new CD, "Songlines Revisited,Vol. One," which revisits and reinvents favorite songs from his four-decade career.

"All my CDs can be quite different in a way from each other, except the voice makes the connection," Steve says.

"Songlines" follows a long list of critically acclaimed recordings. In fact, Billboard named "Primal Young" -- Steve's previous release -- as a "Critic's Choice" and called Young a "singer of major status." And Rolling Stone Record Guide awarded 4 stars to "Renegade Picker" and "No Place to Fall." Plus Nashville Scene selected "Renegade Picker" as one of "The 50 Best Albums Ever," alongside recordings by Hank Williams, Neil Young and The Stanley Brothers, clear evidence of the esteem with which Young is held among music writers and industry professionals.

In his concert review, music journalist Tom Conner aptly described Steve’s voice as "pure cream shot through a fire hose – powerful, direct and smooth." These words are strong testimony to one of the many reasons that Young’s performances have captivated listeners throughout the world..
