It has been a long time since I have been so excited about a CD. This CD is a great mix of music. From the emotionally drenched message song "Flowers" to a couple of tunes that make you laugh out loud like "White Lightening Hit The Family" and "I'm Headed Your Way, Jose".

 

Ballad or up tempo, bottomline is this guy has a great country voice and can flat out sing like a mother!

 

It's a rare day that I get a CD, much less a debut CD, from an artist that I can honestly say there's not a bad track in the bunch. I'm more than happy to say thats exactly what I must say about this one. There simply is NOT a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all, with each song standing tall on it's own.

 

The song choices are excellent, the production is outstanding and the only thing that can be said about Young's Tennesee baritone voice is that it's excellent.

 

This CD grabs your attention right out of the gate with "Beer Or Gasoline" and doesn't let go until the very last note of the very last song "Who's Gonna Take Me Home", which by the way is another great track.

 

If you're even mildly into country music you'll enjoy this CD and newcomer Chris Young.

 

This is a first rate CD, delivering a little something for everyone. I give it my highest recommendation. Great listening. A must buy.

 

Let's hope this is only the beginning for the supremely talented, and swiftly rising Chris Young.

Prior to getting this CD, all I knew about Chris Young was that he'd won Nashville Star, a country version of the X-Factor type show. Having seen the sort of people that win these type of shows here in the UK and having the supposedly 'country star' Carrie Underwood thrust down our throats, I wasn't expecting much. But, d'ya what? This guy is really good!

There's a great mix of fast tracks (opener "Beer or Gasoline", the humorous "White Lightning Hit The Family Tree", and "Who's Gonna Take Me Home", and slower songs ("You're Gonna Love Me", "Center of My World", and the single "Drinkin' Me Lonely"). Then he hits you with "Flowers", probably the saddest song I've heard for years and with a pay-off at the end that almost equals the George Jones classic "He Stopped Loving Her Today".

I understand this isn't his first album (his debut came out on an independent in the US) and I'm sure it won't be his last!

I'm sure he'll be around longer that some of the UK X-Factor people!!
