Since Chris Young appeared on the "Nashville Star" television program in 2006, he`s been on a roll. After signing with RCA he had a hit with "Drinkin` Me Lonely," his first single from his self-titled debut recording. Likewise, the two singles that have preceded the release of THE MAN I WANT TO BE in 2009 haven`t done too badly either, getting plenty of play on radio. While Chris Young`s sound is firmly in the contemporary country camp, it`s also a lot more hardcore honkytonk than it is the refried `70s rock clich?s that plague the genre. Part of that is due to his big booming baritone voice that rings as clear as a bell in this mix. (Think George Strait-meets-Josh Turner.) The other part of his appeal is the use of a relatively small group of musicians, giving the disc a more organic sound than a lot of what`s out there. Young also has a lot of respect for tradition: "Rose in Paradise" is drenched in fiddles, mandolins, and acoustic guitars. It`s a country-styled blues and features no less than Willie Nelson as a duet partner. The final track on the set is a moving cover of Tony Joe White`s "Rainy Night in Georgia." Its beauty lies in its arrangement; his reading of this classic ballad is utterly tender and believable, accentuanted by a sparse, stripped-down production. And rather than stick with his trademark baritone, he stretches his vocal range--including a mean falsetto--to the brink and still pulls it all off.

      Overstock has become a great place to shop for me. It puts out a great selection of product like this cd that i purchased. I had heard a song and wanted to own the cd, and of course i checked out overstock and they had it. Not to mention a really good deal for the cd as well. I would reccommend using overstock over any other online store or bidding site. you dont have to haggle to get a good price. Your price is always fair and they also send emails telling you exactly where your item is in the process of making it to your home.
