Since Chris Young won the TV talent show “Nashville Star” in 2006, a few characteristics have stood out: an expressive baritone voice; a tall, handsome stature; and a friendly, approachable personality. What he lacked, at first, was an identifiable sound of his own. But with four consecutive No. 1 hits, including the recent “Tomorrow” from his new album “Neon,” the emerging country star is staking out a distinctive style that takes full advantage of his talent and his personality.
At his core, Young is a romantic with a moral code. The Tennessee native has a sensitive way of bringing out what’s important in what he cares about and who he is. This style shows not only in love ballads, but also in songs about family and his laid-back yet caring philosophy on life.
