Reconstruction Records
Jubal Lee Young is the son of songwriters Steve Young and Terrye Newkirk. His own take on the genre is fresh and he has a dry wit all his own.
"Greed is the Creed" is a raucous song that recalls Steve Earle. Young's voice is raw and his approach seems honest. "She Doesn't Like Clowns" is a neat little love song with an amusing lyric. "More Than Anything" is more Americana with a great lead vocal and an unforgettable melody. "As I Lay Dying" manages to be a moving account of a man close to death. Young really gets under his skin and makes the listener empathize with him.
Jubal Lee Young's record is a delight through and through.
