ABOUT RIDGETOP: "Ridgetop" is a poignant song penned by Jesse Colin Young, inspired by his beloved home in Point Reyes, California. Accompanied by never-before-seen video footage called “High on a Ridgetop”, the song provides a rare look into its creation and Young's life during that period. After moving his band, The Youngbloods, from New York to Northern California in 1967, this home became a meaningful sanctuary for those looking to be embraced by nature. Tragically, in 1995, this dream home was consumed by the devastating Mount Vision wildfires, leaving an indelible mark of sorrow on Young and his community. Remarkably, one of his recording studios survived the blaze. ABOUT SONG FOR JULI: To celebrate its 50th anniversary, Jesse Colin Young has released a fully remastered version of his iconic album, "Song for Juli," originally launched on September 4, 1973. The all-new version is available on all streaming platforms as well as extremely limited-edition vinyl. This album is the fourth solo album by singer-songwriter and former Youngblood. The album had a higher chart placing than any of the Youngblood albums, and stayed on the charts longer than any other album he currently created. Several of the songs include stories about Young's Ridgetop home in Northern California. The house burned down in 1995 by the Mount Vision Fires. According to Guitar International, this album and Jesse Colin Young’s career contributing to music as a whole “is forever woven into the fabric of the American Dream, where the fundamental elements of ‘life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness’ are rooted in humane musical gifts bestowed by him to all of us.”
