In Their Words: “I found some lyrics in an old book of American folk songs… and they were an entrance into a life in the rural South that I knew nothing about. But I went there in my imagination and started this song while I was still in school. It’s been with me the whole way. …Highway Troubadour is not only a return to my roots, but the beginning of a surprise adventure of solo performing. I have begun to take guitar playing to a whole new level while revisiting my decades of musical catalogue.”” — Jesse Colin Young
