Young recently released his fifth studio album “I'm Comin' Over.” As Taste of Country notes, he doesn't plan to veer away from his signature sound anytime soon:

Young has always moved more like a freighter, slow and deliberate, than a sports car zipping in and out of lanes. He hasn’t abandoned his roots; he’s modernized them.
“I don’t know that I’m ever gonna have anything cross over,” he says. “When I open my mouth, it’s pretty damn country.”

“Pretty damn country” is how his listeners know and love him, says Mike Moore, Vice President of Country Programming at Entercom Communications, which owns more than 120 radio stations nationwide. “He is sort of carrying, to a degree, that traditional flag for country music. He definitely has a more traditional, down-the-middle sound, which, for the most part, he’s remained true to.”
The epitome of country music is more like it, according to media consultant Barry Mardit. “If country music was a balancing act, with the likes of Florida Georgia Line on one side and those with the heavy Southern twang on the other side, he’s right in the middle.”

We like this interview with Young because it shows that despite the allure of fame, it's possible to remain true to your values and put out a product you can believe in. Plus, he may be young but he comes across as remarkably mature. Young co-wrote many of the album's tracks, and we're looking forward to hearing more of what he has to say!
