Young James Long formed in 2003 as a improvisation project involving slide guitarist Kirkland James (Tenderloin), drummer Taz Bentley (Reverend Horton Heat, Izzy Stradlin & The Ju Ju Hounds, Tenderloin), and singer/guitar player P.W. Long (P.W. Long, Reelfoot, Mule, Wig). For any number of reasons, the band fell apart, but James and Long continued to work on some of the material that resulted from their orginal sessions, and eventually formed them into rock songs, with the help of drummer Taylor Young (Polyphonic Spree, Young Heart Attack). YJL performed any number of gigs in Dallas Fort Worth and Austin, and made a (by all accounts) breathtaking appearance at SXSW in 2004. Their first mini-release You Ain't Know The Man will come out in February 2007. Read more on Last.fm.
