Guys, I can't stop talking about this album. One2One Networks recently sent me a copy of Mat Kearney's Young Love for review and HOLY FLIPPIN FANTASTIC, I love this album. Every single song. How often does that happen? That you love every single song? Mat Kearney's voice reminds me of Chris Martin of Coldplay, and well, if you've been around here long enough, you know how I feel about Coldplay. But it's much more than vocal similarity that has me completely captivated by Kearney's music. His music has such a unique sound, with songs that are so completely different, yet similar in the sense that every single one will make you smile.
As an example, do me a favor and click on this link to Amazon's album page for Young Love... While there, click to sample track 2, Ships in the Night, then click to sample track 6, Learning to Love Again. See? So different, and yet both so awesome. I haven't been listening to anything else for the past two weeks. It makes me happy, it makes my kids want to dance, and that makes me even happier. (We all love kid safe music, yes?)
And so... I'd love to send you one. Wait. Scratch that. I'd love to send you TWO - one for you, and one for a friend. (In any format you like... CD, or digital download. Your choice.) Trust me. You're going to love this album so much, you'll want to give one away too.What to do to win? Leave me a comment, that's what. If you're an overachiever, I'll list a few other things you can do as well. But you don't have to do them all. You can just leave a comment and be good to go.

I know this to be true from my own thorough research and because my heart tells me so. Amen, and amen.)

Love it!!!
I follow and suscribe now--love that feature! :)
giveaway on my fb page too.
I follow you (well, ahem, your blog. I follow your blog....)
Right now I've been addicted to the "Waking Ned Devine" soundtrack. (And the movie. LOVE that movie.) Gotta love some good Irish music. :)
I was actually just thinking about how I really wish I had someone new to listen to. My cd's are all 5 + years old, and I'm feeling like something different.
I'm a follower (but not a stocker. I still don't know how I feel about that whole phrase!)
Oh how awesome! I'm a follower-- because I don't think you knew that;)
What am I listening to? I'm honestly just a big pandora fan since I can type in "ingrid michaelson" and it will play stuff I love. It's like it knows my deepest desires. Definitely marriage material;)
Adele is my current fave. And I love Mat Kearney's sound. Great giveaway!
I am officially a follower. You've been in my reader for years....but now it's a official.
Right now I am listening to "The Itsy Bitsy Spider" and a "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" Yep that's what we listen to. But I also listen Three Doors Down, and some other older cd's some I have to skip when the kids are around, so kid friendly sounds wonderful!
I've been on a Glee binge all summer.
Tweeted. And I already follow you in my reader. Yay!
In need of some inspiration after a long....long day! If you say it's great then I must have it! Lovin your blog :)
Oh bummer ... I keep getting an error message when I try to listen to it @ Amazon. But I'll trust you.
I'm into Jason Mraz right now (and I mean literally "right now" -- Hubs is out of the country to give a lecture on our anniversary, so I'm left to comfort myself with "Lucky")
And I'm already a follower ...
Been following you on Facebook...now I've subscribed.
I don't have a current favorite. I need a something new! Something that is for adults...
This sounds like just my kind of thing.
And I follow!
I would be thrilled to win this CD! I am in love with Joshua Radin's albums currently. He is constantly on my playlist!
Also, I totally follow you! (I'm just super lame at actually commenting.)
