Editorial Review:
His triumph on the talent-seeking Nashville Star series gave Chris Young a promotional push toward the stardom that this well-crafted debut will likely ensure. With a husky baritone that can sound surprisingly supple and mature, the 21-year-old singer-songwriter touches all the bases. He's the goodtime drinking man on "Beer or Gasoline," "White Lightning" (not the George Jones classic), and "Who's Gonna Take Me Home," and he's the man who soberly faces the ultimate price he's paid for drinking on the tearjerker "Flowers." He's as romantically sensitive as a chick flick on "You're Gonna Love Me" and "Center of My World," and he's the lusty lover boy on "Lay It on Me." He's all heartache on "Drinkin' Me Lonely" and all party on "Small Town, Big Time." And it's hard to imagine a goofier novelty song on border relations than "Your Way José," which could be condemned for perpetuating ethnic stereotypes if it didn't make the singer sound dumbest of all. While it may take a few more releases for Young to establish his artistic identity, he's already been designed as the perfect commercial product (produced by Buddy Cannon, who has enjoyed such success with Kenny Chesney and Sara Evans). --Don McLeese

Rating:  - Pleasantly Surprised
I purchased this CD because we're going to be seeing Young at the state fair in August (opening act) and I wanted to familiarize myself with his music. I have to say, from his MySpace page there were a few songs I knew I'd like, but I was pleasantly surprised with the rest of it.
+ "Beer Or Gasoline" is...well, truth. xD It's a funny song you're gonna love because you know what it's like; you only have so much money, and what do you need more - gas or a drink?

Rating: - Great Debut CD
Let me first say: THIS is a great album... 1st song to last song.
Second, I can't believe this CD isn't bigger than it is. I also can't believe that country radio hasn't jumped all over it and him for that matter. Yes, he did win a reality show (Nashville Star), SO WHAT?! The dude can really sing! I saw him live at the Iowa State Fair in August, and he rocked! He may be country, but he absolutely ROCKED!
Yes, many of the songs are about alcohol & drinking, maybe too ... Read More
Rating: - Perfect
What more could I ask for? The best CD that I have ever bought at an awesome price.
Rating: - I love Chris!!!
In my mind, Chris Young is the ultimate country singer. What more could you ask for. His voice is enough to make your knees not only go weak, but dissolve. His song writing abilities superb. This album has everything real country fans ask for: from the fun, windows-down, drivin fast 'Small Town, Big Time' to the make you bawl your eyes out deep stuff in 'Flowers' to the make you pee your pants laughin 'I'm Headed your Way, Jose'. But 'Center of My World' and 'Drinkin Me Lonely' are my absolute favorites. ... Read More
