Long Time Rider LP

Eminent Vinyl are thrilled to announce the release of this incredible album on vinyl for the very first time. Steve Young was a pioneering American roots/outlaw/country singer-songwriter whose career spanned over five decades. Beyond the greatness of his own recordings, he saw his compositions covered by everyone from Dolly Parton to Joan Baez to The Eagles.

Long Time Rider was originally recorded in the mid '80s, released on cassette in 1987 (which he would sell at shows), then issued on CD in France in 1990 and once again on Australia's Afterburn Records label in 2008. It saw Young experimenting with the Roland Juno 106 synth, mixing a warm, ambient sound with soaring vocals.

A truly magnificent and unexpected addition to his catalogue, it's a wondrously loose and freeform sound, highly recommended to fans of Tim Buckley, Lee Clayton and Townes Van Zandt. This edition comes with all-new artwork by family friend, Margot Walbert (RIP), and insert featuring photos, liner notes and lyrics. More than a mere 'Americana' or 'roots' album from the '80s, Long Time Rider is a remarkable, forward-thinking and experimental outing from Steve Young which is ripe for rediscovery.
