The Man I Want To Be is the follow up to his highly successful self titled debut,and he just keeps on getting better!
With Chris' strong baritone voice you could easily mistake him for the likes of Keith Whitley or Randy Travis.The man can sing!So it's a pleasure to listen to him.
Included is the very catchy and also his first no.1 hit Gettin' You Home.His voice really shines on the slow songs like The Dashboard,It Takes A Man and his fantastic version of Rainy Night In Georgia.There's also a special duet with Willie Nelson on Rose In Paradise.
He really shows of his powerful voice in the single Voices,this will give you shivers down your spine.
Chris co wrote four of the songs and it's produced by the legendary James Stroud.
The Man I Want To Be is just simple easy listening country that you can just sit back and enjoy.Highly recommended!

Best Voice In Country Music
Sep 3 2009
By Tommy Bland Jr.
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
I was hooked on Chris's voice right after his first appearance on Nashville Star. I've lived in Nashville for over 30 years, so I've heard a lot of good and bad newcomers over the years and I'm here to tell you that Chris is one of the best I've ever heard. His voice is unbelievable! There's a lot of "magic" that happens in the studios with a lot of artists so that the sound you hear on a CD or on the radio is not the same as what you'll hear live. This is not the case with Chris Young. I've heard him live quite a few times over the years (and as recently as 3 nights ago) and he is the rare breed that actually sounds best live with just an acoustic guitar. If you ever get the chance to see his live show, you will not be disappointed.
"The Man I Want To Be" is a great sophomore album. His first CD was good too, but in comparing the two, this newest CD portrays a much more mature choice of songs and seems to be better put together. I like the entire album from start to finish, but my personal favorite is "Voices". I also like "The Dashboard" and "The Shoebox."
Bottom line, Chris Young is a great artist and this is a great CD. Just buy it, you won't be disappointed.

An Enjoyable and Addictive Album
Dec 3 2009
By Randy
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
Chris Young is one of the freshest and most creative artists I've come across. I caught a video of his on TV one day and decided to check out his album, "The Man I Want to Be." It's simply amazing. The CD kick-starts with `That Makes Me,' an upbeat, sassy show of pride for Young's various interests that may make him a `hick' or `hillbilly,' but he doesn't care.
One of the shining stars of the album is definitely `Gettin' You Home.' It's fun and romantic. Young's deep, rich vocals definitely help out each song, especially on this track. It's very `country' yet he has his own style. The album ends with a very relaxing song titled `Rainy Night in Georgia,' a song originally by American singer-songwriter Tony Joe White.
I'm not a diehard fan of country music but artists like Chris Young really draw me into the genre. But in the end, I don't think about what genre this album is in. It's just a good CD. The only thing I'd criticize is the length of the album. It has only ten tracks. I hope Young has longer albums in the future.
I highly recommend "The Man I Want to Be" not only to country fans but to anyone who enjoys fun, thoughtful and clever music. You won't be disappointed.

Amazing!

Format:Audio CD
This album came out on my birthday, and what a birthday present it was! Some tracks are meaningful and full of advice, like Shoebox. Others are just plain fun. The track "The Dashboard" is worth the price of the CD as it is one brother making a tribute to another who served overseas. 21 candles is fun and up beat. I definitely recommend buying the CD in any form you can.
