Customer Reviews:

What you've got here is pure sonic sugartenor.......2005-06-10

I'll take Jesse's sugartenor over any Wagnerian heldentenor anyday. This record benefits from expert arrangements. The brass arrangement on COUNTRY HOME is absolutely perfect. I can't believe I'm living in a world where Kenny Rogers is a household name and Jesse has been relegated to obscurity. Every track on JULI is an absolute frigging gem. If you don't buy this record, then God has every right to beat you up.

Truly an album that will last in the minds of all who listen.......2004-10-01

I bought this album after listening to it once at my future husbands house(1976). It won me over then and is still one of my favorite cd's. Just a bit of background info on the songs. The whole album was written in reguards to his home in the Sausalito Hills, hence Ridgetop. Juli is his daughter who was very young when the song was written. Basically it is a statement to all about his life and how much he loves it. Yes he really did work in S.F.

Great Album.........2004-01-31

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.

Timeless Classic.......2003-06-10

Since I live on a ridgetop in Wyoming, where it is windy all of the time, and sometimes foggy, there is nothing sophomoric nor immature about the lyrics to RidgeTop. There is a deeper message there. The lyrics on several of the songs are ballad-like, not pop music. The melodies are both peaceful and uplifting at the same time. I have listened to these songs since the day they were new and while I still love to rock out to other artists, the sounds on this album affect me in a way like no other music.

All The Way Full.......2003-03-30

First off, the name of the album is Song For Julia, not Song For Juli. Listen to Song For Julia and Jesse sings, "This is a song for Jool Eee A". Anyone who knows this album knows the title.
