Inside The Groove

Jesse Colin Young's second solo album (the first was recorded on Capitol), backed up with John Sebastian and his pals.

Personal Impression (and brief notes)

Jesse Colin Young - who started his career in 1963 in the Greenwich Village folk circuit - was, of course, a member of the famous group The Youngbloods. This album, his second solo album, was recorded maybe in 1965, with the help of John Sebastian, Peter Childs and others.

Like the Youngblood's albums, Young's vocal is very attractive. Although this may not be his best work, a find blend and mixture of folk, rock, blues, country or else sounds very nice.

Strictly Personal Rating (to what extent I could enjoy this album)

9 out of 10
