The Soul of a City Boy - Track 3
Twenty-two-year-old Perry Miller was spotted by pianist/composer Bobby Scott at Folk City in Greenwich Village and signed to Capitol Records under the auspices of Scott's employer, Bobby Darin. Scott took Miller, now renamed Jesse Colin Young, into New York's A&R Studios in the spring of 1964, and they emerged four hours later with this 31-minute, 11-track acoustic-guitar-and-vocal debut album.

and them that don't like me, can leave me alone.

@abrekutu yeah whatever. People once were individuals in this country. That sure as
hell is a fantasy nowadays.
I don't think Jesse is an ahole because this CD is like 400 dollars. But I can't
change that either.

@ThaTZexperiment I'm pretty sure they are: G Em Am D for the verses, G C G D for the chorus in drop D tuning.

The best blues album I owned in the 60"s. "Stranger Love" still runs through my brain. Anyone know how to find CD of "Soul of a City Boy?"

Thanks for this post. However, I think Jesse Colin Young is an ahole. His first two albums were fantastic. Then, as I understand it, he moved to the West Coast; "mellowed out"; and came out with garbage like "ComeTogether." He had so much talent, and he blew it.

everyone has their heyday. poor jesse was caught up in an industry that at the time promoted the abuse and exploitation of traditional american folk music to help propel political agendas.

Wow, does this song bring back memories. I'll be 50 yrs. old in November '09 and my Dad use to sing this song to me when he put me to bed. I know....an odd song to sing to a little girl but probably one that he knew and liked. I loved it and had never heard it again until I came across this version. I am a huge Jesse Collin Young fan and that is how I happened onto it. Thanks for reminding me of those lovely odd memories of my Dad who has been gone for over 4 years.
