Steve Young – Honky-Tonk Man

Vinyl LP pressing. Singer/songwriter/instrumentalist Steve Young (1942-2016) was a pioneer of country rock and of outlaw country, two movements that transformed mainstream country music and impacted other genres of American popular music. Young, a Southerner, recorded more than a dozen distinctive albums, but none was more fully realized than his 1975 album Honky-Tonk Man. Recorded at the acclaimed Minneapolis studio Sound 80 and released by Mountain Railroad Records, a small independent label based in the Upper Midwest, Honky-Tonk Man documented the musical world of a complex if largely misunderstood artist during the peak of his powers. Now, Honky-Tonk Man returns on vinyl for the first time in three decades.
