Song for Juli, released on Warner Bros. in 1973, was the fourth solo album from Jesse Colin Young, the former lead singer of the Youngbloods, and it turned out to be the biggest seller he ever had, outcharting every Youngbloods record and hanging around the charts longer than anything else in his catalog.
It's the sound of a man at ease. Several of the songs nod to his ridgetop house in Inverness, California, and "Ridgetop" sounds like the view from up there: loose, sunny country rock, all easy strumming and back-porch harmony. Folk rock and country rock swirl together here without a trace of hurry, and Young's high, sweet voice floats over the top like morning fog burning off. The house itself was lost to the Mount Vision Fire in 1995, which lends the record an ache it didn't have at the time.
