With an impressive string of hits including “In Case You Didn’t Know”, “Mercy”, “Sleep Without You” , “Like I Loved You”, “Here Tonight”, “Catch” and “Lady”, he has cemented his status as a master of matters of the heart.
Following his acclaimed second studio album Ticket To L.A., Young broadened his emotional scope on Weekends Look A Little Different These Days, which features “You Didn’t” (GOLD) and “Lady,” whose lyrics inspired his debut children’s book titled Love You, Little Lady. One of the few modern Country artists to see their first seven singles go No. 1, Young debuted atop the Billboard Country Albums chart with Ticket To L.A., while his self-titled debut spent 37 weeks inside the Top 20. He has earned honors including ACM’s New Male Artist of the Year and ASCAP’s Country Songwriter Artist of the Year, along with nominations from Billboard, Teen Choice, CMT and CMA Awards.
