Brett Young Covering Iconic Tim McGraw Hit on Next Album

Brett Young‘s next album includes a song title that Tim McGraw fans — and frankly, all country music fans — will recognize.

The “Dance With You” singer will close his eight-song project with a cover of McGraw’s “Don’t Take the Girl.” The song was a big hit in 1994, and Young says it’s one of the song’s that inspired his career in country music. He would have been about 13 years old at the time, which life-wise puts him right between ages described in the first and second verse.
