This Utah Phillips song was the title track to Steve Young's solo debut album in 1969. He had previously recorded an album with the band Stone Country. Steve's own song Seven Bridges Road (originally recorded for this Rock Salt and Nails LP) would be made famous when the Eagles covered it a decade later. The album also featured Gam Parsons and Gene Clark helping out on a song or two. Later in the 70s Steve would also find some success with his songs "Lonesome On'ry and Mean" (Waylon Jennings) and "Montgomery In The Rain" (Hank Williams Jr.).

One of the most shamefully under-rated geniuses in the history of popular music.

Such a beautifully strong voice. Those notes he holds just cut through your bones.

I’m very confused as to why this doesn’t have 100 million views??? Ahh well I guess I’ll rack up a couple million on it myself. Pure fkn gold. I’m 30 years old and I couldn’t wish more that I could have been born in the 50s and 60s

Well, I'm 70 and bought this LP in '69. Always a favorite of mine. Incredible songs---put together very well. The great James Burton plays dobro very well on many of the songs.

Whenever I was planning a long road trip, I would record several tapes from the local KPIG radio station (while not listening) which I could play while driving, for as some of you might know, it's a vast desert out there when it comes to good music. I discovered this song on one of the prerecorded tapes and just about wore that tape out before returning home.

Disgracefully that I had not heard this song until the Great John Martyn version of it. Not big on country but there has been quite a few exceptions his being one of the very best. Now I am a fan of Steve Young.

I am ashamed to admit, I first listened to this song because that kid Cam Whitcomb sung it on American Idol. I am 59 and thought I knew this kind of music. I have heard of Steve Young but never actually listened to him. He is right up there with my heroes, John Prine, etc...
