Phone interview with James JY Young from Styx!
James “JY” Young (born November 14, 1949) is an American musician who is best known for playing lead guitar in the American rock band Styx, having served as the only continuous original member of the band. Young began playing keyboard and piano at the age of five. He attended Calumet High in Chicago and learned to play clarinet and guitar during those years. He was nicknamed by Styx members & long time fans as "J.Y." and is often referred to as "The Godfather of Styx".
JY & the rest of Styx, along with REO Speedwagon and Loverboy, are performing on the road now with their tour called “Live and Unzoomed”. Several gold & multiplatinum albums. 16 singles in the top 40 of the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and 8 top 10 hits. Last year they released the album “Crash of the Crown” and EP “The Same Stardust”.
JY joins me today on the road to discuss the tour and his amazing music.

Dennis and the Panozzo Brothers played together as a trio as young boys ....They are the founders of Styx

That was Tradewinds, and JY joined when they were TW4. So he's been a member of Styx for the entire time they've been Styx

Thank You for this interview. JY is the OG. I've loved that man since I was 14. I still have the first LP signed by the original band members and a rare 3 record set of STYX interview from the King Biscuit Flower Hour. Styx will Always be a first love. Be Blessed 🙏

JY always has an interesting story to tell. Jehovah witnesses, wow. I give him credit, he bounces back from personal tragedies. Doesn't wallow in depression. JY has a good head for business, and it shows. He's right about Tommy finding the humanity in situations. Which is why I call TS the "king of the introspective lyrics".

I thought Dennis Deyoung was a founding member. I didn't hear his named mentioned I must have missed it.

My bad. He mentioned him towards the end.

Styx doesn't acknowledge Dennis anymore as if he was never in the band. But they have problem taking credit for his songs so they can get paid.

I can't believe how confused JY is with regards to time. Tommy has been in the band for 48 years. Todd has been in the band for 28 years. Gowan has been in the band for 25 years.

Well he was going through a lot at the time of the interview. His wife was struggling with health issues and passed away not long afterwards.

Who cares anymore. FYI The record. Dennis recruited his next door neighbors the Panozzo Brothers and brought in bassist Chuck Panozzo, drummer John Panozzo, guitarist/vocalist John “J.C.” Curulewski, keyboardist/vocalist Dennis DeYoung, and the aforementioned ...Originally JY wasn't even there originally. Dennis DeYoung's band. And i was always a JY fan. The 2 boys Dennis has now August n Jimmy are better players, imho....But hey top spot goes further 2 ways than 3 ways.
