Mat Kearney's new album Young Love is out! #Review

I used to listen to the radio when I was younger. I was eager to hear the latest songs, find the greatest new artists and find music I could dance to.

Now my tastes have changes a bit. I don't have as much time to stay on top of new music, but I still love to find a new song or artist I can enjoy while I blog or clean up around the house.

I was thrilled to listen to Mat Kearney's newest release, Young Love. I was hooked from the first single “Hey Mama”, which had my foot tapping and my toddlers dancing around me. It is such a sweet and fun song!



I really owe the One2One Network a big thank you for bringing this album to my attention. I love Mat's voice and his lyrics are fabulous, both sweet and moving. If his voice sounds familiar, it might be. He has had other songs on many popular television shows like Scrubs, 30 Rock & The Vampire Diaries. He has also toured with greats like John Mayer and Sheryl Crow to Keane and the Fray.


Young Love Tracklisting
1 Hey Mama
2 Ships In The Night
3 Count On Me

4 Sooner Or Later

5 Chasing The Light

6 Learning To Love Again

7 Down

8 She Got The Honey

9 Young Dumb And In Love

10 Rochester
11 Seventeen

Okay, so Hey Mama is probably my favorite, Sooner or Later also has me singing along and humming during the day, and She Got the Honey makes me want to dance.

The best part to me is he was born and raised in Eugene, Oregon! So, I would consider him a local boy. Now he is based in Nashville, Tennessee. His blend of rock and folk makes his songs likable  and memorable.
