Dissecting Shreveport’s Country Music Legend Faron Young
Faron Young was a country music musician who took Nashville by storm from the 50s through the 70s. But, his beginnings were a little more humble. Faron was born in Shreveport Louisiana on February 25th, 1932 to a family that worked on a dairy farm on the outskirts of town.
The future country music star, according to his six siblings was the only one of the six that could carry a tune. Apparently he was good at it as well. Faron use to hang out on his porch near the fence where the cows were kept, and would play guitar and sing for the cows.
