Young spreads out "Across the Sheets"
Young said the title was a recurring theme throughout the lyrics the new songs, inspired by "the person you want to share everything with, the one you lay your head down with every night." Young released the song Back To Jesus," an up-tempo tune about faith and forgiveness and the person that is "an answer to a prayer I never prayed, and now somehow I have everything I never even knew I wanted."
"Across The Sheets" kicks off with Young's single, "Dance With You," which is set to impact Country radio today. "Dance With You" honors his wife, Taylor – "They say, 'life's a dance,' and if that's the truth, I only wanna dance with you."
The album also includes a fresh take on the 1994 classic that inspired Young to pursue a career in country music, Tim McGraw's "Don't Take The Girl" and a re-record of one of the most beloved songs from his hit-filled self-titled debut album, "You Ain't Here to Kiss Me."
"I really dug deep with my writing over the pandemic. 'Across The Sheets' is by far the most adventurous I've ever gotten thematically and lyrically. I hope people hear my evolution as a songwriter and artist because I'm really proud of how much I allowed myself to pull back the curtain and let people see more of my life through my music. We've been playing the new songs on tour and to see how fans have already connected with them is truly special."
