Brings Back Fond Memories.......2007-01-22

A million years ago I listened to this album endlessly with an old friend, Gina on her B.I.C. speakers. Are you still out there?

Got an iPod for Christmas this year and was loading armloads of CD's...one of them, Elephant Mountain, got me to thinking about this one. I'm heartbroken that it is now unavailable. I would buy two copies if I could.

Great Album.......2006-06-20

Having listened to the song samples of this album and liking what I'd heard of the Youngbloods, I decided to buy my first Jesse Colin Young solo album. It was every bit as good as I was hoping it'd be. The CD comes with a booklet complete with lyrics to all the songs, as well as a list of all the musicians who played on the album and the instruments they used. Pretty impressive for a CD reissue of an album 30 years old. I was expecting just a one sided paper insert with the album cover on the front.
The music is quite good. There's a lot of guitar, but there's harmonica, flute, clarinet, sax, trombone, violin, and piano as well, just to kind of give you an idea what the music sounds like. While it does sound like early 70's singer/songwriter rock music, the album definitely still holds up well after 30 years.
I've listened to it four times since the mailman brought it yesterday. It's not very long, of course, as most vinyl albums weren't, but what is there is outstanding. I'll definitely be getting more of his CDs.

Tripping Through the Fog.......2001-06-29

I first listened to works of Jesse Colin Young back in the very early 70's while stationed overseas. I found Jesse's music compelling and soothing. His music enabled me to at least temporarily escape from my sometimes maddening military duties and float freely back to America. Jesse's music remains clear & crisp even now, some three decades later. I continue to cherish his melodic lyrics.

Forever Young.......2000-04-23

Its not very often that an album is issued that at least one song doesn't stink. "Song For Juli" is one of those rarities. This album is enjoyable from the first note to the last and shows the breadth of Young's stylistic talents. "Ridgetop" is probably the most played song from the album and like the fan from San Francisco I like to turn it up while driving across the Golden Gate on the way to my ridge (Mt. Tam). The best aspect of the album beside the quality of the music is the way each song flows effortlessly into the next. There are no disconcerting interludes here. You've got rock, jazz, country, and Cajun all smoothly rolled into one big piece of ear candy that sounds as fresh as the day it was issued. You just can't help but love it!

Song For Juli.......2000-01-07

I have listened to this album more times than any other album in my collection. I have also given this album as a gift-as it is a sure winner with a song for eveybody. Every time I cross the Golden Gate Bridge, my mind starts singing "Ridgetop" and sice I started playing the CD now (my vinyl copy is pretty well played out) I realize just how great the music is and how it remains fresh to this day. A true classic from the mid-70's. This album has stood the test of time.
