More Info:
Working with Kenny Chesney producer Buddy Cannon, Chris Young has created a potent debut that puts an up-to-date, contemporary edge on traditional country music. Like his heroes Keith Whitley and Randy Travis, the 21-year-old seems to own an old soul and a lived-in voice custom-designed to sing country music. Like those idols, he ushers country's classic sound into the modern era, energizing the genre's core themes and values by making them as current as tomorrow's news.Reviews:
''Chris Young'' is the self-titled debut album by American country music artist Chris Young, who in 2006 was a winner on the television singing competition ''Nashville Star''. Released on RCA Records Nashville in 2006, the album produced two chart singles for Young on the ''Billboard'' Hot Country Songs charts: "Drinkin' Me Lonely" and "You're Gonna Love Me", which respectively reached #42 and #48.
The song "Flowers" was originally recorded by its co-writer, Billy Yates, who released it as a single from his self-titled debut album in 1997. "Beer or Gasoline" was co-written by David Lee Murphy and Ira Dean, the latter of whom was bassist for Trick Pony at the time.
Thom Jurek of Allmusic rated the album three stars out of five, criticizing Buddy Cannon's "generic" production but praising the neotraditionalist country sound of the album as well as Young's voice. - Wikipedia
