As I close in on Sittin' pretty with Dustin Lynch, I think we should concentrate more on Dustin's accomplishments, and less on cobblers and cafes. I have dedicated this blog to all things Dustin Lynch. I would like to take this post to talk about what I would consider Dustin's five greatest accomplishments.
#5: Key to Tullahoma
Dustin Lynch was born and raised in a small whiskey town, Tullahoma Tennessee. Dustin Lynch returned to his hometown in late September to headline the 41-A music festival. zimbio.com stated:
He shortly discovered Tullahoma had a surprise for him. Shortly before his set Mayer Lane Curlee called Lynch to the stage, presenting him with an official key to the city.
I think it's so cool that they gave Dustin a key to the city. He now truly seems like a small town hero.

#4: 650,000 downloads
"Cowboys and Angels" one of my favorite songs by Dustin Lynch. It's a true love story that he wrote about his grandparents. It was also his first single off of his self-titled debut album "Dustin Lynch".
On examiner.com it stated:
"Cowboys and Angels" sold over 650,000 downloads, and has over 4 million views on Vevo and YouTube. That's a lot of downloads and views for one song, but it is a great song! http://www.examiner.com/article/country-singer-dustin-lynch-garners-2-aca-nominations
#3: Number 1 on billboards country album charts
The much publicized Dustin Lynch lives up to his press this week, as his self titled debut album barrels into no. 1 on billboards country album charts. If you couldn't already guess, Dustin Lynch's album is by far my favorite album. And yes I did buy it the day it came out! So it was no surprise to me when I heard Dustin had the number 1 album, and knocked the Zac Brown band to number 2.
#2: Album Release
Dustin Lynch's self titled debut album released on August 21, 2012. Within the first week of being released the album had sold over 23,000 copies, and made number 3 on billboards country album charts.

That's Dustin for ya. Making a big entrance as a new artist.
#1: Touring with Keith Urban
In July 2013 Keith Urban is going to kick of his tour with Little Big Town, and Dustin Lynch. Keith Urban is a huge name in country music. Dustin as a new country artist touring with Keith Urban is a big deal. And it should be a good show too! They will be stoping in Detroit during there tour on August 4. Now I just have to wait for tickets to go on sale so I can go see my idol.

What amazing accomplishment Dustin Lynch has done, all in his first year of being a country music artist. I can't imagine what else is to come.
