het vierde album van Steve Young wordt ook wel "one of the greatest Outlaw albums" genoemd, maar bij dat "outlaw country" genre moet ik zelf meer denken aan iemand als Waylon Jennings. zou de muziek op dit album eerder alt.country of country-rock noemen. tegenwoordig zou men het roots/americana noemen.
11 stuk voor stuk sterke composities, waarvan 5 Steve Young originals (tracks 1,3,6,7 en
en 6 covers van Amerikaanse country singer/songwriters:
2) I Can't Be Myself (Merle Haggard)
4) It's Not Supposed to Be That Way (Willie Nelson)
5) Tobacco Road (John D. Loudermilk)
9) Broken Hearted People (Guy Clark)
10) Sweet Thing (Buddy Starcher)
11) Home Sweet Home (Rodney Crowell)
up-tempo "honky tonk" rockers als de titeltrack en "Lonesome, Onry' and Mean", dat eerder in een andere versie verscheen op zijn album "Seven Bridges Road" (1972) en waar Waylon Jennings een hit mee scoorde, worden afgewisseld met ballads als o.a. "I Can't Be Myself" en zijn eigen "All Her Lovers Want to Be the Hero" beide voorzien van fraaie pedal steel partijen van Buddy Emmons.
hoogtepunten te over op dit album, zoals zijn eigen hartenbreker ballad "Old Memories", maar ook een prachtige versie van het Rodney Crowell nummer "Home Sweet Home (Revisited)".

de liner notes van Sid Griffin (June, 2001) bekend van zijn werk met de band The Long Ryders, geven een beeld van de betekenis van Steve Young:
"Steve Young is a relatively unsung yet terribly important link in the musical chain, which unites the then burgeoning country-rock movement of the late 1960's to the mid 1970's, blossoming out of the Outlaw movement, his non-Nashville, no nonsense attitude linking both to the alt.country movement of today. That his own profile isn't what it should be is an out and out crime when his contributions are examined.
In 1968 Young, after being recommended by Tommy Lipuma, was part of a trio of talented iconoclasts signed by Jerry Moss to A&M Records, who were all hell bent to unite rock and country by performing C&W with a rock musician's attitude and by performing R&B and folk standards as if they had been country tunes all along. And yes, the other two were Gram Parsons with his Flying Burrito Bros. and ex-Byrd Gene Clark"
