Volume 21 Number 43 June 25-July 1, 1998 BEST BLUES RECORDING As the Sun Goes Down Lionel Young Band Fans of the driven, classically trained Young, who has created a distinctive brand of blues on the electric violin, waited a long time for this striking collection. The recording, which combines Young originals with interpretations of blues classics by Willie Dixon, Leadbelly and Stevie Ray Vaughan, features the strength and passion of Young's playing, as well as his smooth vocals and unique translations. The songs, which include his award-winning composition " Brown Cloud Over Denver" and "Hey, O.J.," a controversial little gem, alternately stir up social concerns and soothe the weary soul. It's prime. It's fun. It's Lionel Young.
