SUE YOUNG

They say 'music soothes the savage beast'. I know that quote came long before Sue Young but they must have had a premonition of this woman with her crystalline vocal style. Whether she is singing in English or Spanish, her spiritualistic center shines.

As I listened to clips from each of her albums, I became mesmerized by the emotional quality of Sue's voice. The Albuquerque Journal calls her "one of the most versatile, heartfelt singer/ songwriters around." 

Just one of the many reasons she is among the nominees for Female Vocalist of the Year.

Good Luck and Country Blessings!
