Yes the old people appreciate the fact that back in the 60's and 70's there was no auto-tune or other digital references to spoil the mistakes that HAPPEN to every artist-JCY is a very talented singer/songwriter and younger performers could take a few lessons from him. just sayin'{#Clap}

Heh - I was just thinking that this album was in just about every woman's room at my university in the mid-70s.

I saw Jesse maybe about 10 years ago at Blues Alley in Washington, DC, an intimate club known for booking Jazz acts. He gave a very enjoyable acoustic performance, intimate and passionate.

Saw that show in Cleveland in '74, the other "warmup" band was the Band.  As good as all of the bands were, Santana stole the show.  Oh , by the way, tickets cost $10.  Ten bucks for ten hours of music. SADLOF  Such A Deal Lots Of Fun

Saw the Youngbloods twice in Seattle in the late 60's and those concerts were wonderful.
Saw JCY about 5 years after Youngbloods broke up and that concert was on par
with any I have seen. He stole the night from Loggins & Messina.
  JCY is/was a great singer song-writer.

Agree, luckily its not in heavy rotation. 

Not my cup of tea, but the old people seem to like it with all the talk of Santana and reel-to-reels.

I am SO stoked to hear this!  Lovelovelove JCY, thanks to my radio music-programmer friend.  I remember I bought him a JCY CDthat he'd mentioned he wanted, and took it to the station to give it to him. He almost tackled me in his eagerness to get it out of my hands, and the other station employees were laughing their asses off at our childish behavior. He had such a happy look in his eyes, and years fell away...

JCY will always remind me of my friend, who is in places unknown.

It was Jesse Winchester who went to Canada in 1967 and became a Canadian citizen in 1973, acc. to Wikipedia.

Before You Came....
In a way, no one will ever understand the impact of those three words....
Unless, in a very intimate way, you are about to bring a new life into our world...
Or, you are an explorer who will soon bring a new world upon an old world...
Or something beyond is about to occur?

Good story there Bill about the first time you heard this.
I find it amazing how I can remember songs the first time I heard them. And how they relate to the surroundings where I was.
How did DJ know how to play that tune at the right place and the right time?

I have a rotten memory. But when I can remember the song that was playing at that particular time, I can remember everything.{#Stupid}
Bizarre.

I'm thankful for the music.
 
I think it was just the right time and place for Bill to hear the song. I like the song well enough to give it a 7. We all have songs like that. I think several Pink Floyd songs have hit me that way, but never when I imbibed, strangely enough. Something magical about music, I guess.

After the Youngbloods and Elephant Mountain, I lost any interest in Jesse.  Stuff like this certainly doesn't change my mind.

Another bolt out of the blue.  Way to go Bill.

And the listener rating is way too harsh.

Jesse has been layin' it down real well for forty years now. His first album was Soul of a City Boy, in 1964. I liked the song "Four in the Morning" from that effort. In my opinion, it is a good example of how "folk" music at the time was becoming an intensely personal statement, and rapidly evolving away from the traditional approach. Not a Childe ballad, not the blues, not a pop song -- something new, private, and personal.


Is this the Jesse that went to Canada during Vietnam war or was that Jesse Winchester? Both good artists.
