Chris Young & Steel Magnolia

Chris Young:
With an ear toward the past and an eye on the future, Chris Young is quickly distinguishing himself as a newcomer who honors country music’s best traditions while adding a fresh, new chapter to the genre’s legacy. With his rich, warm baritone and
penchant for writing relatable, slice-of-life songs, Young’s sophomore project, The Man I Want to Be – featuring his current smash single, “Gettin’ You Home” – is an album that showcases a new traditionalist poised to take his place among his musical heroes.

Steel Magnolia:
There is a cool moment, preserved for posterity in TV syndication, when Joshua Scott Jones and Meghan Linsey, the duo known as Steel Magnolia, make the connection that changes their lives. It’s cattle call audition day for season two of CMT’s Can You Duet? Josh and Meghan are secretly ambivalent about the whole thing, skeptical that the judges (especially that big-time record executive on the left) are going to get their very unique sound.
But a few bars into the first verse of their song “Ohh La La” we see that record executive have his first ‘Ah Ha’ moment. A blank face cracks into a grin. Then comes the chorus, with its rising swell of surprise and passion. Naomi Judd points at her own goose bumps. And by that point, the record executive is wearing a 100-watt smile.
