Singer and songwriter, and early member of the outlaw country movement,
who wrote hits for Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson.
A singer, tunesmith, and purveyor of what he dubbed "Southern music"
-- a brew of country, folk, rock, blues, gospel, and Celtic styles -- Steve Young was
a songwriter's songwriter, an acclaimed performer whose work found its greatest
commercial success in the hands of other artists and earned him praise from
the likes of Waylon Jennings, Townes Van Zandt, and Lucinda Williams.
Born in Georgia and raised throughout the South, by his teens Young was already
playing guitar and writing his own songs. In the early '60s, he moved to New York City

RECORD from VG+ to NEAR EX but (please, read above description)
SLEEVE NEAR EX but (please, see pictures and read above description)
Rock Salt and Nails is a highly regarded cult country-rock-folk record, in part because some
of the supporting musicians are highly regarded pioneers of the form: Gram Parsons,
Chris Hillman, and Gene Clark all appear on the album. While it is not among the very best
of such late-'60s hybrids, it is pretty good, though too low-key to command the kind
of wide interest (by cult standards, anyway) that someone like Clark or Parsons does.
Steve Young has an unusually convincing reedy voice, never overdoing the
melodramatics yet establishing a dramatic atmosphere that admits hints of blues,
soul, and swamp pop. When distant, mournful strings are added to his more anguished
and somber songs, like "Seven Bridges Road," "Holler in the Swamp," and
"Kenny's Song," there's an effective multi-dimensionality rare in early country-rock.
Other songs, particularly the covers of old country tunes, are less striking.
It's an interesting release, though, that's quite rewarding for fans
of more adventurous country-rock fusions...(AllMusic)
