Originally known as the Hillbilly Heartthrob and the Singing Sheriff, Faron
Young had one of the longest-running and most popular careers in country music
history. Emerging in the early 50s, Young was one of the most popular honky
tonkers to appear in the wake of Hank Williams death, partially because he was
able to smooth out some of the grittiest elements of his music. At first, he
balanced honky tonk with pop vocal phrasing and flourishes. This combination of
grit and polish resulted in a streak of Top Ten hits -- including If You Aint
Lovin, Live Fast, Love Hard, Die Young, Sweet Dreams, Alone With You, and
Country Girl -- that ran throughout the 50s. During the 60s, Young gave himself
over to country-pop, and while the hits werent quite as big, they didnt stop
coming until the early 80s. Through that time, he was a staple at the Grand Ole
Opry and various television shows, including Nashville Now, and he also founded
the major country music magazine, Music City News. Most importantly, he
continued to seek out new songwriters - including Don Gibson, Willie Nelson, and
Kris Kristofferson -- thereby cultivating a new generation of talent. Faron
Young was born and raised outside of Shreveport, LA. While he was growing up on
his fathers dairy farm, he was given a guitar, and by the time he entered high
school, he had begun singing in a country band. Following high school, he
briefly attended college, before he left school to join the Louisiana Hayride as
a regular performer. While on the Hayride, he met Webb Pierce and in a short
time, the pair were touring throughout the South, singing as a duo in various
nightclubs and honky tonks. In 1951, he recorded Have I Waited Too Long and
Tattle Tale Tears for the independent label Gotham. After hearing the singles,
Capitol Records decided to buy Youngs contract away from Gotham in 1952. That
same year, he was invited to perform regularly on the Grand Ole Opry. Just as
his career was taking off, Young was drafted into the Army to serve in the
Korean War. Assigned to the Special Service division, he sang for the troops in
Asia and appeared on recruitment shows; while on leave, he recorded his debut on
Capitol, Goin Steady. Upon its early 1953 release, it climbed to number two on
the country charts and it was followed in the summer by I Cant Wait (For the Sun
to Go Down), which hit number five. Young was discharged from the Army in
November of 1954, releasing If You Aint Lovin, his biggest hit, shortly after he
returned. The single was quickly followed in the spring of 1955 by Live Fast,
Love Hard, Die Young, which became his first number one hit, and the number two
single, All Right. As soon as he returned to the States, Faron Young began
turning out singles at a very rapid pace, and most of them charted in the Top
Ten. In addition to recording, he began appearing in films, starting with 1955s
Hidden Guns. Over the next few years, he was in no less than ten films --
including Daniel Boone, Road to Nashville, Stampede, A Gun and a Gavel, Thats
Country, and Raiders of Old California -- and was featured in many television
shows. Upon his first film appearance, Faron earned the nickname the Young
Sheriff, which eventually metamorphasized into the Singing Sheriff. Youngs
career truly began to hit its stride in 1956, as Ive Got Five Dollars and Its
Saturday Night and Youre Still Mine reached number four and three, respectively,
during the spring, followed by the number two Sweet Dreams later that summer.
Sweet Dreams was not only his biggest hit since All Right, but it gave
songwriter Don Gibson his first significant exposure. Soon, Young developed a
reputation for finding promising new songwriters, bringing Roy Druskys Alone
With You to the top of the charts in the summer of 1958 and taking Willie
Nelsons Hello Walls to number one in 1961; Young was one of the first artists to
record a Nelson song. Young continued to record for Capitol through 1962, when
he switched labels and signed with Mercury. In general, Youngs Mercury
recordings were more pop-oriented than his Capitol work, possibly because Hello
Walls, his last number one for Capitol, reached number 12 on the pop charts.
Throughout the early and mid-60s, Youngs music became more polished and
produced, yet his audience didnt decline dramatically; he may not have been
hitting every top of the charts with the same frequency as he was during the
50s, but he was still a consistent hitmaker, and singles like Youll Drive Me
Back (Into Her Arms Again), Keeping Up With the Joneses, and Walk Tall climbed
into the Top Ten. Faron left the Grand Ole Opry in 1965, deciding that it was
more profitable for him to tour as a solo artist instead of being restricted to
the Opry. Following his departure, Young began to explore a number of different
business ventures, including a Nashville-based racetrack and helping to run the
country music publication Music City News, which he co-founded with Preston
Temple in 1963. By the end of the decade, he began to return to honky tonk, most
notably with the hit Wine Me Up, which reached number two upon its summer 1969
release. For nearly five years, Young continued to reach the Top Ten with
regularity, including such hits as Your Times Comin, If I Ever Fall in Love
(With a Honky Tonk Girl), Step Aside, and Its Four in the Morning. During this
time, Young continued to appear on television shows and he made the occasional
appearance on the Grand Ole Opry. During the late 70s, his hits gradually began
to fade away. In 1979, he left Mercury for MCA, but none of his singles for the
new label reached the Top 40. For most of the 80s, Young performed concerts,
maintained his business interests, and appeared on television; in short, he was
acting like the country music statesman he was. In 1988, he briefly returned to
recording, signing with the small label Step One, and had two minor hits on the
label. After that brief burst of activity, he retreated to semi-retirement,
occasionally making concert appearances. During the 90s, Young was stricken with
a debilitating emphysema. Depressed by his poor health, he shot himself on
December 9, 1996, and passed away the next day. Though he was underappreciated
toward the end of his career, Faron Young was a groundbreaking vocalist during
the 50s, and he remains one of the finest honky tonkers of his time.
