It seems to me like this will be an album that sounds like Taylor Hicks full force, all bluesy and charming and authentic and uncomplicated in the best sense,

That’s a great description. I hope for the same, and can’t wait to hear it.

To me he is the epitome of an artist. I flew over from Spain to see him live and I was not disappointed. There have been only 3 American Idols who have captured my heart and that is two males, David Cook and Taylor Hicks and one female, Diana DeGarmo. That has not changed over 7 seasons. Only 3 have been my absolute favourites. I will always be there for them. I love Taylor and am waiting for his new music. To me he is the epitome of an artist.

I don't keep up too much with any of the Idols, it's more like I just check out their CDs (looking forward to Jason Castro, sweet and dreamy kiddo), but I am so pleased to see this interview with TH. He looks natural and relaxed and happy. What a nice surprise! Esp. after all those interviews where he acted so guarded or pompous or weird or just off, like someone in the witness protection program instead of just enjoying his career. It seems to me like this will be an album that sounds like Taylor Hicks full force, all bluesy and charming and authentic and uncomplicated in the best sense, something as a fan I can really get into. Just happy for me and all the other fans who were hoping for better things, realer things, for him once the Idol hoopla died down. Maybe he saw a psychiatrist, maybe it was the air in Nice, maybe he's eating good food, but whatever it is, I am glad someone I kinda thought of as a friend in a way is back and bringing good music with him.

I pre-ordered his dvd and will pre-order the record as soon as it shows up on Amazon. i'm excited........... I think this is one of Taylor’s better interviews.
