 The
“Young” name is renowned in
music circles around the world. Country Music
Hall Of Fame member, Faron Young, had a string of
hits throughout his forty year career including
“Hello Walls” and “It’s Four
In The Morning.” Although Faron is gone, the
“Young” name is again claiming some
well-deserved recognition. Robyn Young, son of
the legendary hit-maker, is recording, performing
and entertaining crowds around the world!
 Robyn’s roots go
deep into country music royalty, not only being
the son of the “Singing Sheriff,” but
also the great, great grandson of Uncle Dave
Macon (the first star of the Grand Ole Opry).
Ironically, it was the Beatles appearance on the
Ed Sullivan Show that sparked his first interest
in playing guitar, but years later while he was
performing at his father’s night club, Faron
Young’s Jailhouse, Robyn’s passion for
traditional country music was born. He soon
became a featured headliner at the club and later
filled that same role at another Nashville
hotspot, George Jones’ Possum Holler.
In those early years of his career, he found
himself often traveling the road with his father
opening shows throughout the United States and
Canada. Those treasured memories left an imprint
on Robyn that continues to influence his
recordings today and the way he approaches his
music and the respect he has for his fans.
Brought up in the days when artists spent 250 to
300 days a year crisscrossing America with just a
guitar in hand entertaining and meeting fans.
It’s that kind of grass-roots effort that
Robyn continues today - singing at every
opportunity and glad to meet and thank those that
support his traditional country music style.
Ending 2012 with a #1 song on the Indie World
Chart, “Young, Fun & Foolish,” just
confirms that Robyn is doing it the right way.
With the release of his new single, “Heaven
Must Be Missing One Angel Tonight,” Robyn is
coming full circle. The song produced by Gene
Breeden was actually recorded several years ago,
but when Charlie Ammerman of Pretty World Records
heard the song, he knew it was a winner, making
it Robyn’s latest release on Reflect
Records/Pretty World Records. Now watching it
climb the charts, Robyn comments, “I always
thought it was a hit song.”
A gifted songwriter as well writing the
chart-topper, “Young, Fun &
Foolish,” Robyn has composed several songs
to be included on an upcoming album which will
also feature his current single, “Heaven
Must Be Missing One Angel Tonight.” You can
be sure that there will be plenty of steel guitar
and twin fiddles on this new production.
Robyn’s career continues to blossom with
numerous television appearances including
Larry’s Country Diner and Country’s
Family Reunion Series as well as concerts around
the world highlighted by a tour of Sweden last
year with Moe Bandy and the Mavericks and an
upcoming tour of Japan with Aaron Tippin and
Daryle Singletary.
With Robyn Young’s natural talent and
passion for traditional country music, he will be
forever “Young!”www.Robyn-Young.com
