CHRIS YOUNG: Inspiration…Musical & Otherwise!

audio

Chris Young’s new album is titled A.M., and Chris says that the inspiration for the title actually came not just from the title track itself, but from a number of songs on the album, some of which talk about the assortment of life events that can take place in the wee hours. (AUDIO INFO BELOW)

  • Chris’ new A.M. album also features his current smash single, “Aw Naw.”
  • Did you catch Chris performing “Aw Naw” on The Ellen DeGeneres Show this week? If you missed it, check it out on the Ellen website here!
  • Last year, Chris talked with us (here) about his love for the game Golden Tee, and he says that you can rest assured that he’s got the 2013 version with him out on the road! (AUDIO INFO BELOW)
  • Chris is on tour! Among upcoming dates, he’ll be playing the Grand Ole Opry on October 8th, and he’ll be making a three-night run through Texas on October 10th, 11th, and 12th. For complete tour info, visit the events page of ChrisYoungCountry.com.
  • And a big “attaboy” to Chris, who donated $25,000 from the proceeds of his sold-out Monday concert at the House of Blues in Los Angeles to two of his favorite charities. Chris said, “It was a fun night of music and being able to give money to the St. Jude Children’s Hospital and Stars for Stripes makes it all that much better.”

“Everybody always says nothing good happens after midnight, but there’s plenty of stuff that’s great that happens after midnight. You know? Whether it be partying, whether it be fallin’ in love for the first time, or whether it be working through something in your relationship and gettin’ to that point where it’s like, ‘naw, we’re gonna stay together.’ You know, all those things can happen in the A.M., and so that’s why we named the record that.”

audio  Chris Young says that his love for Golden Tee continues unabated! (:24)
“I always have the newest version of Golden Tee on the road. And if you don’t know what that is, then you don’t know, but if you’ve ever played virtual golf in a bar, that’s probably what you played. And it’s in a road case. I was gonna say, it’s a little bit different ’cause people are always like, ‘Aww, you have anything cool out here?’ And I’m like, ‘Well, we’ve got this road case that turns into a Golden Tee machine.’ People are like, ‘Oh, my God!’ ‘Cause it’s the only one. We basically had it custom made. So, yeah, perks! It’s fun sometimes!”
