JESSE COLIN YOUNG "LIGHT SHINE" Ⓟ 1974, 1994 Ridgetop Music LLC Ⓒ 1995 Demon Records Original Release 1974 CD Reissue 1995 EDSEL RECORDS EDCD 452 Made in Germany Jesse Colin Young, the leader of the Youngbloods, known for hits like "GET TOGETHER" and "SUNLIGHT." While his first solo album, "SONG FOR JULI" from 1973, is personally my favorite, this album, his second solo work from 1974, also features a further refinement of his folky groove. It's a masterpiece where you can enjoy Jesse's gentle musicality, starting with the jazzy sound of the opening "California Suite."
