Jubal Lee Young
You wouldn’t need to know anything about Jubal Lee Young's background to hear that this is a cat who has the proverbial “it.” But heritage he has indeed. The only son of outlaw country-rock/Americana royals Steve Young (“Seven Bridges Road,” “Lonesome On’ry and Mean”) and Terrye Newkirk (“My Oklahoma”, “Come Home, Daddy”) continues to grow ever more into his own.
With Take It Home Jubal Lee Young shows the posers how it’s done. Nowhere is that manifesto made clearer than on album closer “There Ain’t No Outlaws Anymore,” a direct slam at Nashville badasses and their carefully-crafted images. This song pointedly conveys the message that if a major label today is marketing someone as outlaw; you can pretty much guarantee they ain’t.
“Neon River” opens with Young’s own twisted Townes lyric (“Good news from Houston, all of my friends are fine.”) “Neon River” is the ultimate Texas song, with its vintage Waylon feel, mariachi horns, and lyrics, a rousingly loving ode to Houston, the Lone Star State’s often-derided largest city and for the past three years something like a second home for Young.
Young passes on the family tradition of gifting the next generation with a song that is choked full of Don Williams-AM Gold country sunshine “You Make Me.” Although this gem is a song about his daughter; it is vague enough that the listener can assign the meaning to any love they choose.
Throughout the album, Young’s gruff, Marlboro-tinged baritone voice is backed by Outlaw sidemen like Mac Gayden, Mickey Raphael and Robby Turner, who serve up frequent little nods to the past, like the hat-tip to “Lonesome On’ry and Mean” on “There Ain’t No Outlaws Anymore” and another to Waylon’s “Amanda” on “Angel With a Broken Heart.”
Take It Home is more than a manifesto; a blueprint to seize back hallowed outlaw ground from the pretenders. It’s also a mature album, a document of a particular phase in a man’s life when he begins to know his daddy’s form of crazy as his own and hopes for better for his own child.
-Jubal Lee Young’s last album, The Last Free Place In America, debuted at #25 on the AMA charts and reached #3 on the Euro Americana charts.
-“For those who don’t know it yet, “Take It Home” by Jubal Lee Young is the best “outlaw” country music album in decades. Thanks to Terrye Newkirk and Steve Young for passing on their talent to him.” - Sam Pierre
