Robby Young's voice is full of rich tonal qualities; his hip, meaningful style is a musical massage of the soul. His CD is a must have. - Ed Thrift
Wonderful CD to listen to on a long trip, so soothing and comforting to the ear that you'll want to listen to it over and over again. The smooth jazz style, with a flair of R&B, will have you finding excuses to take a drive somewhere just to listen and once again be captivated by this truly amazing work. - Michael Delaney (The Drifters)
I have had the pleasure of seeing him perform live, enjoying his cd, and sharing the same stage with him. You close your eyes and you don't know which is which. I am more than sure that this will not be the last we hear of Robby Young. The true music buff and the public will not allow it. - Eric D. Johnson (The Drifters)
