GUEST,gillymor Old Songs Newly Found (86* d) RE: Old Songs Newly Found 22 Aug 25


Yep, Beer, Lightfoot was a gift.

Sunlight, Jesse Colin Young passed away in March and in remembering him I came across this lovely song from the Hippie Dippie days that he did with the Youngbloods. I used to sing this long ago but now it's a bit of a challenge for my limited vocal range. I also fished out the Soul of a City Boy LP, his first solo album with just him and his acoustic which really showcases his unique, and I'd say beautiful, singing voice. My younger brother and I spent months dropping and lifting the needle trying to learn his guitar part on this one Four in the Morning.
NY Times obit here.

I also happened on Hippie From Olema , Lowell Levinger's (aka Banana, Youngbloods guitarist) response to Merle Haggard's Okie From Muskogee, remade in a Bluegrass setting off his Get Together: Banana Recalls Youngbloods Classics album, released in 2015 and featuring JCY on harmony vocal. I saw them perform this one at a Youngblood's concert in the early '70's and don't think I've heard it since.
