AI5: Taylor Hicks
He’s gonna win. I can just feel it. (No, it’s not a Constantine thing, either.) When he performed Leave On tonight, I had the urge to just close my eyes and listen. Then I rewound the DVR and watched him sing it again. Wanna hear more Taylor Hicks? I do, so I ordered his latest CD, Under the Radar. Yes, he’s a hometown star already, but now he’s becoming a national star. My one regret is that I probably won’t ever get the chance to see him in a small smoky venue like the one’s he’s already been playing.
The CD will most likely sell out soon, but if it does you can just download these three songs courtesy of WBHM.
Soul Thing is a really good song! In a downloadable WBHM interview, he discusses the song and his music. You can buy a photograph of Taylor Hicks taken by Michael Sheehan, professional photographer. And maybe, you can still book Taylor Hicks for a concert at The Music Garden. Here’s his playlist:
