Steve Young has never fit comfortably into categories, weaving together Southern roots with a wide experience of life, and creating new traditions in American music. He has worked with musicians like Van Dyke Parks and Stephen Stills, at one point holding a day job as a mailman. A major-label record deal led to a short-lived stint with a psychedelic country-folk band, Stone Country.  Settling into a solo career, Steve Young became an integral part of the movement which defined the California country-rock sound.
