Chris Removed the Hat, but not the Country!,
July 18, 2011 Austin Dalyai "ATD" (Utah) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Neon (Audio CD)
In a Country Music world filled with pop, rock, and hip hop, it's refreshing to know that because of Singers like Chris Young, Country still has some Country. Those of you familiar with Chris' previous release, will not be suprised one bit by this one. If you haven't heard this guy before, and you're a lover of Country singers who have the right to write and sing songs about the Country Life, than you need to check this out. The first single from theis CD is all over the radio right now, and for a good reason. The song "Tomorrow" is a very acurate representation of the other nine songs on this CD. Not only are we treated with the fiddle and steel that we love in Country music, there are a ton of supurb song writing efforts on this album that will keep it on the charts for some time, and will most likely give us another 2 or 3 huge singles. Chris also displays a voice on here that keeps him in good company with his contemporaries.
So if your a fan of modern Country, there is no...Read more

Awesome Country Music,

This review is from: Neon (Audio CD)
This CD is awesome. Chris Young is really coming in to his own. The big boys of country had better move over 'cause Chris is on his way to the top. I have watched him rise since his Nashville Star victory and he just gets better with each release. This entire CD leaves you wanting more. We all know how great "Tomorrow" is and the rest of the CD does not disappoint. My favorite is "She's Got This Thing About Her". If you love the ballads you'll love this collection of songs and "Save Water, Drink Beer" is a great summer fun song. Enjoy!

Young's Alluring "Neon",

Prime Cuts: She's Got This Thing About Her, Tomorrow, Flashlight
On his third album "Neon," Young journeys with us through the arc of relationships, the tremulous as well as the blissful moments. Though he does not bring in any particular shafts of fresh insights, there is something alluring about these 10 cuts that make one return to them again and again. Perhaps it's because of Young's palpable tenor that exudes a believable blue-collared sensitivity ingrained in a deep seated maturity that makes his delivery engaging. And it could even be the fact that most of these songs sell themselves with their irresistible hooks and their true-to-life sentimentality without giving in to maudlin sappiness. So, such strengths are to be credited to Young who had a hand in honing 7 out of the 10 cuts with Nashville best writers such as Ben Hayslip, Rhett Atkins, Ashley Gorley, Brett Jones, Tim Nichols, Kent Blazy and Frank Myers. Further, having a seasoned producer James Stroud on...Read more
