The brand new album, THE LUCKY ONES, is officially released July 2021. It's been a long road but ultimately, very satisfying. An amazing collaborative effort. Many kudos and thanks to all the other players: Don Jones, Kris Baldwin, Gordon Cantor and Paula Parente. And to all the engineers & mixers: Gregg Tauriello and Jon Margulies. And to Anthony Cassucio for mastering. And to Zushka Biros for her dashing photos and help in getting things prepared for Disc Makers. </em></p>
<p><em>THE LUCKY ONES is twelve original tunes from the pen of Mighty Tim. Guitars abound, Mighty Tim and Gordon Cantor, while the rhythm section of Don Jones, drums, Kris Baldwin, bass, and Paula Parente, tambourine, drives it all directly home in flashing fashion.</em></p>
<p><em>All songs, including instrumental versions, are available to license for film, television, video games, etc.</em></p>

<p>All the tracks, including instrumentals of each tune have been mastered by Anthony Casuccio </p>
<p>of Xtream Audio, located in upstate New York. He did a great job!</p>
<p>Now the focus turns to the artwork for the cover of the album and planning a release date.</p>
<p>I'll have more details coming soon but I wanted to make sure the news is out that The Lucky Ones</p>
<p>is Coming Soon!!!</p>
<p>As a special treat, I've uploaded the tune On The Road, as a peek into The Lucky Ones!</p>

<p>He is doing a fantastic job. And in addition to the mix, I have been doing some additional tracking as well, just filling in a bit where needed and</p>
<p>having a blast doing that. There are only a few more tunes to finish off. That means we are looking for a possible release date of around Thanksgiving.</p>
<p>There will also be a CD Release party with a band assembled to rock out on the new album. Stay tuned for all the latest details as they become available!</p>Mighty Tim Youngtag:timyoungmusic.com,2005:Post/63608302020-06-20T17:11:18-07:002020-06-20T17:11:18-07:00New CD In The Works! (The Trials & Tribulations)<p><span class="font_regular"><em>The good news is that the new CD, The Lucky Ones, will be released this year, that's 2020. The not so good news is that I'm hoping this is just not wishful thinking but the truth! That's because I have now had to take my files from Sweet 16 Studios because of Covid 19 concerns. This means I need to locate another studio to finish the little bit of recording I want to do and do the final mixes.</em></span></p>
<p><span class="font_regular"><em>I do have a studio in mind which is Hobo-Technologies situated in Jerome, AZ. I've met the engineer there and will soon have a session (consultation) with him. Hopefully we will engage in a positive way and I'll be able to get to work again. </em></span></p>
<p><span class="font_regular"><em>Hobo Technologies will be the third studio involved in the history of The Lucky Ones. Actually the first studio, Mudshark in Flagstaff, never even recorded a note, as it turned out that one was a poor choice on my part. That was the experience which brought me back to Sweet 16 studios in Cornville where I have been working with the very talented Gregg Tauriello. I worked with him in 2015 on my release of Tim Young Live. But now with the Covid 19 scare, Sweet 16 is closed.</em></span></p>
<p><span class="font_regular"><em>The project began in October of 2019. In my opinion it is now time to wrap this up! As soon as the final mixes are mastered you will be able to find them right here at timyoungmusic.com!</em></span></p>Mighty Tim Youngtag:timyoungmusic.com,2005:Post/61019252020-01-14T16:42:23-08:002020-01-14T16:42:23-08:00New CD In The Works!<p><span class="font_large"><em>Mighty Tim has teamed once again with the multi-talented Gregg Tauriello of Cornville, Arizona's Sweet 16 Recording Studio to release a CD of 12 brand new tunes.</em></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><em>Besides Gregg's skilled hands on the Pro Tools, MT has also enlisted the talents of Don Jones, on drums, Kris Baldwin, on bass, and Gordon Cantor on lead guitar. A Mighty Configuration! </em></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><em>Recording began the end of this past October and will continue into February 2020. Mixing and Mastering should be completed before the Spring so the New Recording, THE LUCKY ONES, should be ready to drop before the Summer. Be Prepared!</em></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><em>Song titles include: The Lucky Ones, Something About You, Red Dress, Tavern, Shooby-Doo-Wop, Time, Raining In My Heart, and more...</em></span></p>

<p>Just a quick note. Yes, Mighty Tim continues to lurk among</p>
<p>venues, musicians, writers and artists making the rounds in Arizona.</p>
<p>New music, stories and poetry live and breathe from my pen and</p>
<p>typing machine. Just a note. Keep an eye out. New stuff.</p>
Mighty Tim Youngtag:timyoungmusic.com,2005:Post/60733422016-10-02T17:00:00-07:002016-10-03T14:55:35-07:00OCTOBER
<p><em>October is truly the beginning of autumn for me. One thing for sure is the chance of any day hitting the 90 degree mark is way on the low side. That feels pretty good to me. The fall brings some cool changes,for sure, and temps are only a part of it. For me the leaves turning bright red, yellow and all those colors just reinforces the great cycle of life. It means the world and all of us are moving on, heading for other places and that is essential to keep life interesting.</em></p>
<p><em>Of course it has to do with my music as well. I believe autumn brings fresh life into melodies and rhythms, at least I hope it does, and so the muse sits on the falling leaves as it silently steers the pen and guitar into new territories. And the new winds blow in all the right directions setting a course for discovery. </em></p>
<p><em>Thanks for reading, and listening!</em></p>

<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/397671/9c5d2bb433f73ea98829aa859cfcb64879bd9c8e/original/who-shot-rock-roll.jpg/!!/b%3AWyJyZXNpemU6NDk1eDM4NCJd.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" height="384" width="495" />Remember how Going Steady with someone was such a big deal during those school days? Yep, I bet you do or maybe you're still in the midst of it. Cool. Well, I'm in the big midst of it now but on another level, a different idea. Now I'm Going Steady with three (3) steady dates a month! And we all dig each other a lot. Nobody gets their feelings hurt, nope, just the opposite, it's a blast.</p>
<p>I'm talking about two steady dates at the Full Moon Saloon, the first weekend of each month, and one steady date the Vino Di Sedona, every third Thursday of the month. These are two of the most popular music joints in Sedona. Excitement builds towards each show and the crowds are always a knockout!<br></p>
<p>I don't have a varsity sweater or class ring to exchange with my steadies but I certainly do give them all the attention they deserve!</p>
<p>So if you're in the hood or planning to be, make sure you drop by to say hi and/or share a smile.</p>
<p>You can also check out more details and fun stuff over at Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/timsored</p>

<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/397671/039961363343d1624d4b263243fba89e1fe775ef/original/img-2688.jpg/!!/b%3AWyJyZXNpemU6MjAxNngxNTEyIl0%3D.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" height="1512" width="2016" /></p>
<p></p>
<p>To mention a Beatles title, "Something New, Something New." What this is all about is I have been able to take advantage of an opportunity I found in a local newspaper from Flagstaff, Arizona called 'The Noise.' A community based radio station there put an ad in that said they were looking for people to host their own radio program. In other words, a DJ! This is something I had always wanted to do since I have always been a serious student of rock n roll and its many different genres. The chance to play some of the music I have always loved on the air was almost too sweet to believe but that's exactly what I am doing now.</p>
<p></p>
<p>My show is known as Throwing Light and airs every Monday at 3pm Mountain time on KSZN LP FM 101.5 It streams at <a href="http://radiosunnyside.org" data-imported="1">radiosunnyside.org</a></p>
<p></p>
<p>In the hour from 3pm to 4pm I usually feature two artists of my choosing and talk about their careers, influences, personal lives and whatever else I can dig up.</p>
<p></p>
<p>So please stop by some Monday afternoon and have a listen. if you have a comment or thought about the music I'm playing please leave it here on the website on the comments page.</p>
<p></p>
<p>It always feels great to expand my musical horizons. It would be awesome to have you join me!</p>

<p>Yes. 2016 is quite visible on the horizon right now. Check the Gig page for the five dates listed so far, including four at my home base, the Full Moon Saloon, and one at downtown Sedona's awesome wine bar, Vino Di Sedona.</p>
<p>In this New Year, the winds are in flux to help spread the Mighty Tim sound to new towns in Arizona, especially Phoenix and Tempe. We are looking at Colorado too. Please stop by often for a listen and for a bit of fun.</p>
<p>It's also time I mention that I have lots of poetry and flash fiction over at the Fictionaut site.</p>

<p>I've put up a link to my Live at Living Room Festival video over at You Tube. Credit goes to Becky Simpkins for the awesome shoot. There are a couple more songs from that session that I'll put up<br> once I edit them. This first one is "Everything I Ever Wanted To Be" from the new release, 'Live.' Thanks also to Matt Fabritz on the Cajon drum.<br></p>
Mighty Tim Youngtag:timyoungmusic.com,2005:Post/60733352015-10-01T17:00:00-07:002015-10-01T19:00:06-07:00October is a Mighty Tim Festival
<p>Yes. And Well. And Well it should be. Seven big shows this month. Including four at the Full Moon Saloon where often the Mighty is the house act. The last two weekends of the month will be shaking with the Sedona late night vibes. Rocking possibilities and all seven shows feature a zero $ admit. No tickets, no cover. Indie at its finest.</p>
<p>But,as they say, don't take my word for it, just please come out and hear for yourself.</p>
<p>Songs this autumn include brand new titles not even available on CD just yet so you may want to borrow an idea from the Grateful Dead and do some live recording. Then you could send it to me and I could post it here on the site. Just hit me up on the Contact form.</p>
<p>The Rock & Roll is alive. Make it a point to catch a hunk of it!<img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/397671/e802e3baed8f63501f0f8cdd01ee943c4f761808/original/tim-at-wall.jpg/!!/b%3AWyJyZXNpemU6MzYweDM2MCJd.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" height="360" width="360" /></p>

<p>So looking forward to the show at Jerome's Spirit Room on August 13th. Jerome is a small town but huge in its appetite for music. In addition the Spirit Room is located in the heart of town so folks often just wander in to see what is going on and there is always some kind of music on the bill there. Thanks in advance to all who can make the trip! Here's a link the their web page. http://spiritroom.com/</p>

<p>Great folks at this past weekend's shows at the Full Moon. Even met two sets of people who want to sponsor my show as a House Concert. This would be so cool because I know there are some people who can't make it to the bar shows but would be glad to visit someone's home. These shows could begin at an earlier time too. I'll post those dates ASAP.</p>
<p>As always, many thanks to Monica, Jordyn and Joe Mooney for helping make every show at the Full Moon Saloon such a success! Brian and Bob too!</p>

<p>I have to mention what a wild time was had at the open mic in Jerome at the Spirit Room last night.</p>
<p>The host, Moondog, opened the night with a set of amazing original tunes. He's got such a </p>
<p>sense of humor with his music. Everybody loved it.</p>
<p>Then before I went on, a guy at a tall table near me passed out. His face completely drained of color.</p>
<p>But 911 was called and they took care of him. The red and blue lights of the ambulance came </p>
<p>splashing into the bar.</p>
<p>The first performer after Moondog was a woman named Christy who played the uke and did a</p>
<p>solid version of The Devil & The Deep Blue Sea. Man, you don't hear that one often.</p>
<p>At my turn I decided to do all originals too since Moondog did so well with that idea. I played</p>
<p>four and it was so cool. The volume was just right and people came up tossing dollar bills in the</p>
<p>tip jar. At the end I felt I had to bow before I left the stage and then Moondog reminded me to take </p>
<p>all the money out of the jar. I thought maybe they all split it up later but, no, he insisted I take it</p>
<p>and so I did!</p>
<p>I hadn't played there before and I have a date there on Thursday August 13th, so I wanted </p>
<p>to dip my toe into the Spirit Room and I was so glad I did.</p>
