Richard Youngs - Summer Through My Mind LP

For his debut Ba Da Bing release, Summer Through My Mind, the venerable Richard Youngs has yet again pushed himself into a challenging new sphere yet. A renowned musician with over forty albums to his name, Youngs goes somewhere he never has, to the heart of American music, to make a country album. There are elements scattered about – slide-guitar, heartfelt vocals, dark lyricism – but these pieces exist like alienated rocks from a planetary explosion of long ago.
