Brooks Young Band stuns with stellar debut CD Counting Down By Bill Copeland on October 1, 2010 Full Article Click Here Brooks Young Band has released a satisfying debut CD called Counting Down. There are many good things that can be said it. The band manages to put out a quality sound by being tight with each other and then from there they just expand everything to make a huge, thick pleasing mix of styles into one big sound. There is a such a smooth flow of notes in each song, indicating this band has been playing together for quite some time. Young’s smooth as silk singing voice graces each track like a pleasant guest who shows up on time and keeps the day interesting and fun. He has a charming, likable, down-home something in his timbre that makes the listener feel like he’s sitting down talking with Young in his living room.
