    STEVE YOUNG - LYRICS Steven Timothy Young, 12th July 1942 - 17th March 2016 Compiled by Robin Dunn assisted by Chrissie van Varik. Please note that this list should be regarded as a ‘work in progress’. We don’t claim definitive knowledge about Steve Young’s recorded and composing output and welcome corrections and/or new information. Many folks will have greater knowledge than we about the details on many of these tracks - musicians, dates of recordings, background etc. As anyone with any experience of these things knows, something new and unexpected is always turning up! If anyone epitomises the title of our website it has to be Steve Young. He covered the full gamut of folk, country, blues, and rock ‘n’ roll. Not so well known with the general music-buying public he was nevertheless a huge influence on contemporary and upcoming folk and country musicians many of whom went on to become famous in their own right. Perceived as somewhat of an independent country and folk outsider he was a pioneer of the country rock, Americana, and Alt. Country sounds and often seen as the original so called ‘outlaw’ a label later adopted and inculcated by Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson among others. However, Steve Young’s repertoire was much wider and varied. Steve Young was born on 12th July 1942 in Newnan, Georgia. He grew up in Gadsden, Alabama, and in Texas, as the family regularly moved around in search of work. By the time he completed high school he was playing and writing songs that incorporated influences of folk, blues, country and gospel that he absorbed whilst travelling throughout the South.

  • Welcome to the 41St Tønder Festival Last Year’S 40Th Jubilee Was a Huge, Warm Celebration of 4 Decades of International and Danish Folk Roots Music in Tønder
    Welcome to the 41st Tønder Festival Last year’s 40th jubilee was a huge, warm celebration of 4 decades of international and Danish folk roots music in Tønder. It also marked the launch of the Tønder Festival of the future. Hand-made music with roots in folk, country, blues, cajun, world and the rest has seen yet ano- ther massive renaissance these past few years. Tønder Festival has been part of this all the way. The rebuilding of the festival is a process that began in 2012, and 2015 sees the topping out. This year’s music programme reflects today’s genre-crossing artists, the bearers of the strong traditions and new, young names. International giants in the veteran class side by side with the top musicians of the future. This year again, Tønder Festival’s audiences will find a festival site alive with many different mu- sic venues, special thematic zones and a wide selection of restaurants, cafés and sales booths. Four days’ immersion in a unique festival atmosphere with its well-defined identity and audiences who love the music and the vibe. 2014 was also the year when the conductor’s baton changed hands. Tønder Festival’s artistic director Carsten Panduro retired and the new management took over. The new management team inherited a festival that turned loss to profit in 2014, a festival with huge and growing local and regional backing and enormous media attention. There have been digital changes, too. Tønder Festival has a new website and an intensified pre- sence on social media. Tønder Festival has as its main priority, as always, and more than ever, active contact with old and new audience members, those who buy wrist bands to participate in our unique, close fellowship centred on acoustic music of the highest calibre.

  • Folk” Back Into Houston’S Music History Norie Guthrie
    Putting the “Folk” Back into Houston’s Music History Norie Guthrie 46 Wheatfield at Austin City Limits, left to right: Bob Russell, Connie Mims, Damian Hevia (drums), and Craig Calvert, 1976. Courtesy of the Wheatfield and St. Elmo’s Fire collection, Woodson Research Center, Fondren Library, Rice University. While Austin enjoys international acclaim for its live music scene, Houston has long had one of the richest and most diverse musical histories of any city in Texas. Although not always adequately recognized for its contributions to the state’s songwriting traditions, Houston had a thriving folk music scene from the 1960s to the 1980s, helping launch the careers of numerous singer-songwriters. Founded in January 2016, the Houston Folk Music 47 Archive at the Woodson Research Center, which is part of Rice University’s Fondren Library, seeks to preserve and celebrate Houston’s folk music history, including its artists, venue owners, promoters, producers, and others. During the process of digitizing 2-track radio reels from Rice University’s student-run radio station, KTRU, I discovered a large number of folk music recordings, including live shows, interviews, and in-studio performances. Among these were such radio programs as Arbuckle Flat and Chicken Skin Music, which feature interviews and performances by Eric Taylor, Nanci Griffith, Lucinda Williams, Vince Bell, and others. The musicians tell stories about how they ended up in Houston and became part of the thriving folk community centered in the Montrose neighborhood. Not having grown up in the area, I was unaware that the local scene was so vibrant that several artists, including Lucinda Williams, had left Austin to join Houston’s tight-knit folk community.

  • Carlene Carter Feature – Country Music People, January 1994
    w 0511-aa3? llililililil|[[Uillilltililil " (-arlene's hillbilly royalty wherher lr.-, stre wanl.s to be'or not,'; said Marty Stuart recently of his former sister-in-law. "She's really a descendant of the Queen of Country Music, Maybelle Carter." It's true. As the daughter of country stars Carl Smith and June Carter and the stepdaughter of Johnny Cash, Carlene Carter has a musical pedigree second to none. Yet she tumed her back on her native Nashville in order to spend eight years honing a keen rock'n'roll sensibility in post-punk London. The result was that while her half-sister Rosanne Cash has evolved in[o a country superstar over the past decade, it has taken Carlene almost that long just to gain recognition. But in 1990 she re-emerged on Reprise Records with the raunchy I Fell In Love and found success again last year with the quintessential country-rock albtm, Little Lov e Le tt er s, both produced by her current beau, Howie Epstein. She's come a long way from Madison, Tennessee where she was born Rebecca Carlene Smith on September 26,1955. She took to music early, playing piano from six years old and taking guitar lessons from her grandmother, the legendary Maybelle Carter, at age 10. "She didn't really teach me my first, stuff," says Carlene, setting the record straight. "My Mom did. And then my Grandma taught me more things later. I didn't really realise the impact she'd had on country music, or that she was anything other than just a really cool grandma who went fishin' with me and Hillbilly Queen taught me how to play poker and all those really fun things that grandmothers indulge their grandaughters in.
