can't believe this album hasn't sold more copies.....
One of the things I looked forward to most about the post-AI Hicks was being able to hear his real music. The single "Do I Make You Proud", though it sold well, was anything but Taylor Hicks.
The whole album pleases, top to bottom. To me, the best track is "The Right Place". Written originally by Brian Adams for Ray Charles, Taylor shines throughout the whole song. "Heaven Knows" is also a great song for Taylor. And I really enjoyed the remakes of "The Deal", "Soul Thing" and "Hell of a Day" (available only from Wal Mart).
The songs play well on the CD and especially in concert. My wife and I had the privilege to see him in cocert at the Ryman in Nashville. Nothing like Taylor Hicks live, that's for sure.
I don't understand management's reasoning behind releasing the first single 2 months after the album debut. Nor do I understand why they chose "Just to Feel That Way" as the first single. But Hicks has said that he's in this for the long haul, not to be a shooting star and fade soon thereafter. I look forward to his next album.

Heaven Knows that I have found The Right Place with Taylor
Heaven Knows that I have found The Right Place with Taylor
For the longest time, I have been rather dispirited when it came to listening to music, as it all sounded the same, so I primarily listened to either Broadway or Country
I admit that when American Idol began 5 years ago, it did not interest me.
When Bo Bice appeared, I hoped that he would win, just because he did not sound like the music that was out there, and I enjoyed his style
BUT, this year, when I first heard, and then watched Taylors audition, something REALLY struck a chord in me
Taylor did NOT sound like everyone else, and he sang A Change is Gonna Come.
He thought he had a voice, and to give him a chance
As each week went by, he enthralled me by truly making each song his own.
Taylor was never in the bottom 2 or 3, which had only been done by 2 others: Kelly Clarkson Carrie Underwood
I was remembering people that I had not listened to in years, such as Sam Cooke, Ray Charles, the Doobie Brothers, Bob Seger and too many more to mention
Boy was his audition song prophetic, or what?
A change HAS come, and the name belongs to Taylor Hicks
These songs will make you either get up and dance or they will touch your soul and make you cry or make you remember relationships that went awry
There is something on this album for every taste in music
Get this album, and you will not be disappointed!
Thanks for reading this!
