Yippee! Found the sucker! Steve Young's Seven Bridges Road on Sonet, SNTF 705 (1976). What a great songwriter/singer/player. Vastly underrated. Rarely given the credit for his work. No indication, on Joe's link, for example, that the Eagles were singing someone else's song - the sort of sorry showbiz behavior that is par for the course with Baez, in my experience. Young, from Georgia, started off in the New York folk scene, switched to rock, and then came back to folk. His best stuff has a Hank Williams country sound to it. As a measure of his talent, he has opened for the Waylon Jennings Road Show and has toured with Willie Nelson.
