From 2011, my album "12:34" is an instrumental country and country rock epic excursion.
Released in 2014, the album "Fade" was a work 11 years in the making. It's the older and more mature partner to "12:34."
In 2016, I released a singer/songwriter collection of original songs called "Burn It Down Gently." The project was a challenge I had set for myself. It was recorded performing the guitar and vocals at the same time. There were no overdubs nor punch-ins.
While I was a member of the band Spectral Echo in 2017, we recorded a 6-track, 40-minute demo. We recorded the demo "live" in my living room in one day. I produced and mixed these recordings.
"Like a Lone Cloud in an Otherwise Sky of Blue" was released in 2019. It's a split instrumental album. The first half is mostly post-rock, and the second half is new folk.
R.J. Young's new album "Central Hotel" was born out of trips to Central and especially Southeastern Oregon. The album is inspired by the history and overwhelming landscape of the region. The music blends Americana with modern classical sonorities. Performed and recorded on only acoustic instruments provided both an opportunity and a chal
R.J. Young's new album "Central Hotel" was born out of trips to Central and especially Southeastern Oregon. The album is inspired by the history and overwhelming landscape of the region. The music blends Americana with modern classical sonorities. Performed and recorded on only acoustic instruments provided both an opportunity and a challenge. An opportunity because acoustic instruments lend themselves to folk and classical genres bringing the listener into the specific story being told. A challenge because Young lives on a very busy road. Due to the sensitivity of the microphones, 90% of the album was recorded after 11pm.
