Published: Aug. 28, 2021, midnight

Jesse is one of the most influential and enduring singer-songwriters - who first made history with the Youngbloods on their classic ‘60s peace anthem “Get Together”. He will be promoting the release of his forthcoming album "HIGHWAY TROUBADOUR" (Street Date: Nov. 27th / BMG) - a solo re-imagining of his most timeless songs.

When COVID-19 ground the world to a halt in 2020, Young launched a new series called "One Song at a Time" — a series of videos that found him performing songs from across his entire career, while accompanying himself on acoustic guitar. The series became a success on platforms like YouTube and Facebook, and earned him an “In My Room” session with Rolling Stone, as well as a featured performance on CNN's - The Fourth In America” alongside students from Little Kids Rock. Collectively, the resulting success led Jesse to go back into the studio and record his newest album, "Highway Troubadour".

Recorded with just two AEA A440 ribbon microphones to capture warmth – one for his voice, and one for his guitar – Highway Troubadour features newly-recorded solo performances of songs from Jesse Colin Young’s entire catalog, including a revised take on the Youngbloods’ “Sugar Babe” and an intimate version of “Cast a Stone” from his critically-acclaimed 2019 release, "Dreamers".
