Chris Young "I Didn't Come Here To Leave"

The product of a two-year journey, I Didn’t Come Here to Leave features 14 fresh songs over nine co-writes, with new and longtime collaborators like Jessie Jo Dillon, Trannie Anderson, and Chris DeStefano joining Young’s next act. Re-centering his foundation of timeless romance, while embracing the energy of his legendary live shows (and bringing that deep vocal rumble “back to my baritone roots”), the set represents the most complete cross-section of his creative vision – maybe ever – and the highest level of craftsmanship in Young’s remarkable career. Each song captures another essential element of a country life, expressed through equal measures of good-timing energy, and graceful grit.
