Chris Young biography

Shooting to fame following his 2006 win of talent contest, Nashville Star, Chris Young (born June 12th 1985) is an American country music artist from Murfreesboro, Tennessee, USA.

His traditional country style and powerful baritone has gained Young many fans across the spectrum of country music, looking back to the likes of Hank Williams and Randy Travis, moving away from pop-country or country with rock influences which began to dominate the modern scene.

After winning Nashville Star, Chris Young was signed to record label RCA records, releasing his debut single, "Drinkin' Me Lonely" in 2006, from his self-titled debut album. The release reached number 42 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs Chart. From here, Young's success only continued, gaining a top 40 hit with his third single "Voices" from his EP of the same name.

In 2009, Young released his second full length album, "The Man I want to Be," which, as well as his original songs, featured covers of Waylon Jennings "Rose in Paradise" and Tony Joe White's "Rainy Night in Georgia." The single from the bum, "Getting' You Home (The Black Dress Song)" became Young's first number one single, which was followed by another with the re-release of "Voices."

Following a Grammy award nomination, Chris Young had cemented his place in the world of country music. His talents garnered further chart success with the 2011 single, "Tomorrow," becoming his fourth straight number one. The album "Neon" was released the same year, featuring a further number one single, "You."

His fourth studio album "A.M," released in 2013, showcased two top ten singles, "Aw Naw" and "Who I Am With You."Young was selected to act as an ambassador for the CMA Songwriter's Series, which travelled to European countries in an attempt to spread the popularity of country music.

Live reviews

Country singer Chris Young is ever on the rise, so expect to hear big things from this Tennessee-born, 6-string-wielding crooner. Having risen to fame (and a major record deal with RCA Records) in 2006 after winning the TV talent contest Nashville Star, this bundle of energy and good-time country sounds has been making hits, topping the number 1 spot in 2009 with his single ‘The Man I Want To Be’, and last year’s album ‘A.M.’, which features the incredibly catchy singles ‘Aw Naw’ and ‘Who I Am With You’. As well as strumming masterfully on his guitar, Young writes all his own material and sure knows how to construct great country songs, with tell-it-like-it-is lyrics, twangy hooks and beats to make you get your dancing shoes on. When I saw him at a rodeo show in San Antonio, Texas, last year, I had my doubts as to whether a hyped-up TV ‘talent’ could be any good live, and I am happy to report that such doubts were unfounded, and that Young put on a terrific show. He entered the bare stadium stage in a convertible, leapt out and began to play a fantastic 90-minute set of sing-all-the-words, foot-stomping country anthems, with a seemingly boundless energy that emanated back to the crowd, who were loving every minute. If country is your thing, do yourself a favour and don’t miss Chris Young!
