JESSE COLIN YOUNG INTERVIEWED ON THE RAY SHASHO RADIO SHOW
Jesse Colin Young, critically
acclaimed solo artist and lead singer of the legendary classic rock band, The
Youngbloods, took the nation by storm when The Youngblood's single “Get
Together” became a worldwide Top 10 hit and a prominent soundtrack for
peace.
After seven group releases, Young began the production of more than 15
acclaimed solo albums including Song for Juli, Light
Shine, Songbird and a live album with his great touring band
titled On the Road. In 2005 he released the most comprehensive collection
of his music to date—The Very Best of Jesse Colin Young. For the first-time
ever, songs from his solo career as well as hits from The Youngbloods were
placed in two CD package.
In 2014 Jesse became interested
in the Saratoga warhorse project for Veterans and made a DVD in support of that
organization called Out of the Darkness. It is available on iTunes, Amazon,
Google and DVD on his website.
In 2012 Jesse was diagnosed with
Lyme Disease and was unable to tour. In that time he created the Couch Series
with Labrador on YouTube. He performed a variety of songs new and old, solo
acoustic or with friends, and always with his famous silver Lab, Django. It was
a way to still reach his audience without traveling due to the complications of
Lyme Disease.
Jesse's musical accomplishments
are many, including performing with Led Zeppelin, The Grateful Dead and Janis
Joplin in 1969, touring with Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young in the summer of
1974 and performing with Billy Joel, the Doobie Brothers and the Beach Boys.
Jesse has also shared the stage with comics like Martin Mull. Other
performances include going to the prisons of South Dakota and Minnesota to sing
for American Indians rights with actor and musician Floyd Westerman.
As a member of the Youngbloods,
in 1969 they were the only band to walk off the Johnny Carson show which was
the definitive gateway to superstardom. The Story is worth a listen.
The Youngblood’s version of “Get
Together” has been heard by millions from the Forrest Gump soundtrack in 1994,
Cats and Dogs: Revenge of Kitty Galore, Fear and Loathing in Los Vegas, The Simpsons Oh Brother where Bart
thou and Tree of Horror II, and South
Park’s Smug Alert. Get Together commercials include The Pepsi commercial for the
1995 Super Bowl, the Luv's commercial in 2010 and Kentucky Fried Chicken in
2014.
Darkness Darkness, written by Jesse, was
in Jack the Bear (1993), was the theme song for the James Cameron movie Ghosts
of the Abyss in 2003 and was in the trailer of TV series Bloodline (2015). A
cover of the song by Robert Plant won the Grammy for Best Rock Vocal in 2002.
It remains a popular cover song for many bands.
2016 and 2017 will be productive times for Jesse.
Starting Sept 16, 2016 he will begin the re-release of his 1970’s LP catalogue
starting with Song For Juli on Audio Fidelity. Jesse is currently
working on a collection of new recordings to be released in 2017 and will plan
a tour in the fall.
Throughout his professional life of recording and
touring, Jesse has always taken the time to dedicate his life to giving back to
the world. He has performed on behalf of organizations ranging from the Dream
Foundation and Saratoga Warhorse, to Prep Fest and the Kona Pacific Waldorf
School, now the Kona Pacific Charter School. Holding environmental
accountability, Veteran support and quality education as a moral code of
action, Jesse remains committed and active as an individual and performer.
