Daniel Young is a seasoned artist hailing from Salt Lake City who’s cultivated a decorated career marked by years of prolific releases. Drawing inspiration from acts like The Band, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, John Prine, Dolly Parton and Emmylou Harris, Young moulds a distinctive brand of rock-tinged country music that shines with an enduring quality.
A dynamic performer, Young has served as the supporting act for acclaimed artists such as Steve Miller Band, Grace Potter, The Steel Wheels, Larry Campbell and Teresa Williams, while his presence has left a mark on festivals like Red Wing Roots, Merlefest and OFOAM. With his studio music, he unveiled his sound in 2015 with the debut album Time Passes Quickly, followed up by a string of well-received singles, EPs and full-length records.
Now, ahead of his upcoming fourth LP, titled Leave It Out to Dry set to be released next February, he brings us his brand new lead single lifted from the record with “Help Us Get Along.” The upcoming album retains the familiar influences of country and western, early-70s rock and roll and poignant songwriting reminiscent of John Prine. However, there is a noticeable evolution—a sense of urgency and a moody edge that infuses many of the tracks, ushering in an exciting new chapter in his musical journey.
With the first single from the record, Daniel Young is joined by the talents of electric guitarist M. Horton Smith, Dylan Schorer on lap steel guitar, vocalist Ryan Tanner, Marcus Bently on bass guitar, Ronnie Strauss on drums, Joshy Soul playing the organ, Denney Fuller and Patrick Buie on trumpet and trombone respectively and Candido Abeyta on sax. Recorded at Orchard Studio, the single serves as a profound reminder to redirect our focus from the noise of the news to the enriching sphere of art.
“Help Us Get Along” opens with twin guitar leads, joined by the bounce of drums and bright furnish of brass tones, underpinned by the warmth of the organ. Daniel’s vocal leads enter to craft a retro rock and roll experience packed full of heart and soul, delivered via superb vocal leads and exquisite musicianship.
Brimming with charming sing-along melodic leads, danceable rhythm, lightly gritty guitar tones lifted by the vibrancy of the brass and saxophone and slick lead flourishes from the lap steel, “Help Us Get Along” is a stellar new single from a talented songwriting and his excellent band that builds further excitement for his forthcoming record.
