New York, NY - Not Fade Away Records announced the release of Hell's
Kitchen Rock n Roll legend Tim Young's latest album "The Cost" on
major online retail stores this September 9th, 2008. Produced by Mark
Meisel and Bob Becker of Counter Clockwise Music of Detroit and
mastered at Cincinnati's Sound Images by Dave Davis, the album was
unveiled at a pre-release party on Sunday July 27th in the Klub Room
at mid-town Manhattan's Connolly's Pub.

"'The Cost' is about dealing with loss and the processes one might use
to help get things back to a better balance in life," explained Tim.
"Loss can cover a lot of ground but 'The Cost' is focused on two areas
in particular: love and freedom - how each are tied together and how
each must maintain their autonomy in order to flourish."

What the press is saying about Tim Young:

"Just when I despaired of ever again hearing tight, passionate,
honest, slam-bang ROCK, along comes Tim Young. You just don't get this
kind of stuff every day. It comes from a talent that has worked out in
the "gym" to develop itself, and a maturity that reminds you just what
personal rock and poetry are all about. Tim Young is the real thing."
- Eliot Camaren, The Clinton Chronicle

"Young's unschooled, urgent vocal delivery and lo-fi aesthetic
combined with his solid and energetic guitar playing and fertile
creativity places his music at the intersection between urban folk,
heartland rock and outsider music."
- Jon Sobel, Blogcritics Magazine

About Tim Young
Tim Young is a veteran to the New York music scene for nearly two
decades. Following the release of NO STRANGER in 2002 he began a
string of over 80 shows at the Electric Banana Bar on west 50th
street. At the Banana Tim was able to solidify a great fan base,
record a live CD, and continue to produce new material. Once the
Banana Bar closed in April of 2005, Tim was invited to perform weekly
at the nearby Bellevue Bar where the act evolved into a duo with the
addition of drummer Sand Edwards. Following the stint at Bellevue Bar,
Tim Young Band was installed as the house band at Club Siberia.

Young began releasing CDs in 2002 with NO STRANGER, a collection of
nine original instrumentals self-produced and recorded at his home
studio. For his second release RED, his debut as a solo singer/
songwriter, he recorded sixteen original songs that explore the
emotional landscape of an artist dealing with the way of life in
twenty-first-century NYC. Tim Young's third CD THE COST features
twelve new songs and a brand new version of his own tune "Renegade"
from RED. THE COST takes some similar themes but develops them in a
more complex way with the addition of a full band. Tim likes to call
this record rock 'n roll. He takes guitar, bass and drums and puts
them together in a classy classic kind of way to create music that
envelopes not only rock, but also country and folk influences woven
into the fabric of rock 'n roll.

Currently, Tim Young Band performs once a month at Vintage Bar &
Restaurant located at 51st Street and 9th Ave. in Manhattan.
