 DOA - Richard Youngs - River Through Howling Sky
Most impressively, Youngs was able to move his music closer to standard songcraft without making concessions to commerciality, retaining the hallmarks of his work in expansively mesmerizing arrangements and succinctly evocative lyricism that seemed caught between new-age earth worship and deconstructed folk narrative.
In short, Youngs seemed to be heading toward some sort of reconciliation of both sides of his music, finding the perfect resolution of his creative dialectic.
No doubt, this is the kind of aesthetic that the Microphones’ Phil Elvrum could be heading in his nature worship and sonic sculpting, as Youngs finds that surreally intimate place where the tangibly ethereal sonic palette perfectly matches the existential nature of the writing in creating a unified expression.

 Jim Mockford | Before Lewis and Clark, Lt. Broughton's River of Names: The Columbia River Exploration of 1792 | Oregon ...
Youngs River and Youngs Bay were named after a British admiral who never saw the North Pacific; but it was Sir George Young's nephew, Lt. William Robert Broughton, who explored the Columbia River in 1792 and placed the names of British gentry on the landscape.
Young served as flag-captain to Admiral Sir Edward Vernon at Pondicherry on the Indian coast in 1778 and was then given command of the Royal Yacht William and Mary.
The young Lieutenant Broughton felt that his uncle deserved to be remembered, and his was one of the first names he bestowed on a geographic feature — a cape in the Chatham Islands some one thousand miles east of New Zealand.

Glaswegian Richard Youngs has been on a jag the past few years, creating a new kind of singer/songwriter music that draws on -- instead of relying on -- tight, close-ended compositions about specific themes, or even songwriting tropes at all.
Quite possibly avant-folky Richard Youngs' most accessible release, May is a startlingly focused work, both meditative and hypnotic in its stark ruminations on a select few acoustic guitar and lyrical phrases.
On this outing, experimental rocker cum balladeer Richard Youngs turns in the acoustic guitar he used to such stunning effect on Sapphie and exchanges it for the shimmering timbral effects of a piano.

 Fishing Astoria Oregon, Salmon, Sturgeon
The piling markers for the Deep River channel seem to use their own numbers, & after you get in the bay some of these numbers may be repeated.
When you run out of the river from the launch & enter the bay you need to follow the piling markers close, stay on the right hand side going out, water depth will be between 6' & 9' on a normal low tide.
The middle of the river above & below the Astoria bridge gets shallow & changes yearly, & at a LOW tide it may have much sand showing, so it is not really practical expect to cross over to fish the main channel above Tongue Point from the Deep River side with a prop boat.

 Richard Youngs: River Through Howling Sky: Pitchfork Record Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
This is Youngs' fifth solo release on Jagjaguwar in five years, and it finds him turning away from the fingerpicked acoustic guitars and pastoral folk melodies that helped leaven the experimentation of 2002's May and 2003's Airs of the Ear.
Instead, Youngs casts the listener into a vast, inhospitable landscape here, occupied by little but his keening voice, violent stabs of electric guitar, and tottering percussion that follows along reluctantly behind him like a thirsty burro.
His voice is as pure and sweet as a field of Highland clover, and in the past he has (at least occasionally) used it on the type of tunes that you might expect to hear hummed by a shepherd.

River Through Howling Sky is Youngs’ latest full-length, returning to the more meditative and drone-y side of his songcraft (circa sapphie (1998) and making paper (2001)), although this is no true devolution : all of his recordings to date have some measure of these qualities.
This is the latest output from the UK's Richard Youngs, normally his release would reside in the avant/experimental section, however this release sees Youngs utilizing his acoustic guitar and voice with such skills, that this album can fit in with so called "indie-convention".
