California-bred singer/songwriter and former major-league pitching prospect
Brett Young makes his debut for Republic Records with this self-titled EP. After several acoustic pop-oriented releases out West,
Young made the move to Nashville and pushed his country side to the fore. Working with producer
Dann Huff (
Taylor Swift,
Faith Hill), the smoky-voiced singer offers up six warm, romantic cuts that showcase his earthy charms. Led by the single "Sleep Without You,"
Young's EP showcases his down-to-earth, easygoing manner. ~ Timothy Monger
