If You Grew Up Like I Did is the debut album by country singer/songwriter Austin Jenckes. To hear Austin sing could be equated to being taken to church due to his songs being laced with dynamic, soaring melodies and introspective life-lived lyrics. Stylistically, his music makes you long for a simpler time when the world moved a little slower and things felt a bit purer. Jenckes's best songs are direct dispatches from the never easy, but unquestionably rich life he's lived.
