The making of the A COWBOY BY CHOICE Album and Reviews
"Mark Lynn Young’s new CD project A COWBOY BY CHOICE weaves a tapestry of songs that seem like a document on the history of the United States, and a view of the rough and sturdy stuff of Americana. The songs take a realistic look at who we are and how we got here. All songs written and produced by Young, and his wife Kaysie, and feature a who's who of Nashville studio musicians. Mark covers a lot of musical territory reinforcing the theme of individualistic, and ritualistic faith in himself and country. It's a positive, well done product, and it’s a great addition to any fans of todays country’s playlist. Interestingly enough, along with lead vocals, Mark is listed as the drummer on all of the tracks. Apparently he is the beating heart of this collection. Nicely done."
