Young Man Stuns Judges With Tearful ‘Whiskey Lullaby’ Performance

From the moment 21-year-old Milton Palton crosses the America’s Got Talent stage you can sense their is something special about the aspiring country singer.
The Arkansas native risked everything for his audition, even sleeping outside the venue the night before just to make sure he didn’t miss his shot. Palton shares that he wasn’t born with a silver spoon in his mouth and that he grew up around a lot of drugs, violence, and gang culture.
The contestant was first drawn to country music when he was working through a bad relationship and fell in love with the genre after he heard Whiskey Lullaby by Brad Paisley and Alison Krauss, a song that inevitably inspired his audition.
