Though he's a mean fiddle player and his voice sounds deep and multifaceted, he's also one hell of a cook. In his hometown of Eunice, Louisiana, Young rastles up some chickens and prepares them with what he calls the 'Holy Trinity' - black pepper, cayenne pepper and salt. Check out this You Tube video for more, www.youtube.com/watch?v=piC-yI_AvD4. The crooner from the south also claims talent in chasing his goats across the prairie. Young is a Louisiana guy through and through and the title song of the Red Stick Ramblers' latest album, Made in the Shade on Sugar Hill Records proves it. You'll hear a little diddy about a local guy who makes the best corn mash moonshine in Young's area. The liner notes say, this distiller will have to remain nameless. Is it a hoax - a put on to make us Yankees think this group is 'real country?' Young's voice purrs, 'No one would know who he is but we regularly pick up some of his craft'" (2/20/08).
