About Dustin Lynch

After moving from Tullahoma, Tenn., to Nashville, Dustin Lynch performed regularly at The Bluebird Café, where songwriters often test-drive their material. As evidenced on his 2012 eponymous debut album, Lynch can hold his own as a tunesmith: he wrote or cowrote 10 of these 13 songs, starting with the humorously titled opener “She Cranks My Tractor.” What the song lacks in metaphoric subtlety it makes up for in raw new-traditional twang-rock. Lynch is inspired by what he calls “The Class of 1989”; that was the year that “hat acts” like Garth Brooks, Clint Black, and Alan Jackson broke big. The following ballad, “Waiting,” plays with palpable tension and urgency as Lynch expresses his burning impatience while waiting for his girl to return. He cements his prowess as a balladeer in the standout serenade “Cowboys and Angels” before “Wild in Your Style” blends classic rock guitars with country pop, over which Lynch celebrates his muse's unpredictable personality. “Yeah Yeah Yeah” taps into that nostalgic vein of modern country that romanticizes small-town living.
