“I
enjoy the ‘crossroads’ moment of Austin Young as his live and recorded efforts
reveal an exciting prodigy claiming his destiny. I see no limit to his talent as
a guitarist, singer, entertainer, bandleader, and magnetic new force of nature.
The buzz has already begun in his home of Colorado and from his performances in
Helena and Memphis. Austin proves himself every day. Am I hyping him or actually
too restrained? Austin Young will deliver an obvious answer.”
     – Steady
Rollin’ Bob Margolin

We
proudly present the debut
recording from Colorado’s teenage blues phenom, Austin Young. 
At 17, he delivers deep passion, exciting showmanship, and electrifying
musicianship.  His inspirations range from Blues giants to guitar masters.  As
he devastates audiences near home and at concerts and festivals, he is a hard
act to follow even for today’s established stars.

 

Austin is an astounding guitarist, naturally emotive singer, and
prolific songwriter.  His songs deliver Blues feeling in both traditional and
original styles.  BLUE AS CAN BE showcases variety from Austin
and his NO difference bandmates, from the hard-rocking “Thunderhead” and
“Signal” to the lyrical “Springtime Snow,” the jazzy “That’s It,” the
highly-danceable “Who’s Coming Out” and more.  This is a landmark worldwide
debut from a young artist with a huge
future.

Austin
Young & NO Difference – Blue As Can Be
***½ (out of 4 stars)
Label:
Vizztone

Austin
Young is 17. Or at least that’s what his bio states. After listening to his
newly released album, Blue As Can Be, I’m convinced that’s a typo. His
musicianship fairly overflows with the focus, nuance and even contradictions of
a man two (no, make that three or four) times his age. To play the blues as a
teenager is a parlor trick. To own them (as Young does, on occasion) is a life’s
mission begun to be fulfilled. The full band’s name is Austin Young & NO
Difference (with Austin Young on guitar and vocals, Noah Mast on bass, and Tim
Young on drums). Their album, with Young as writer or co-writer on each track,
is a healthy blend of traditional blues attitudes and modern takes, of building
tensions and private releases, of explosive energy and seemingly impossible
restraint.

Austin
Young is clearly in touch with his inner… well, everything, I guess. The album
is a showcase for a variety of moods and each track shows off a different facet
of Young’s passionate personality. At times, Young plays with such a ferocious
energy that he may just be starting his own style of blues… the “Colorado
blues”? … the “teenage phenomenon blues”? … the “I might just turn a whole young
generation into blues lovers blues”? It’s exciting (especially in a genre like
blues) to discover an artist that one can share with friends, and with Austin
Young’s talent, he will certainly create a buzz. No, it isn’t a perfect album.
So he’s young. That’s fine. He has all the more time to find himself in the
blues (and find the blues in himself). When a guy just might be the future of
the blues (and he just might be), it’s best he take his own damn time. Play on,
Austin Young, for when played with truth and swagger — the blues never get
old.

Essential Downloads: “Thunderhead,” “Magdalena,” “That’s It,” “Miss
You Moore.”
