The least you can say about Taylor Hicks is that he's not like prior American Idol champs: he already had almost a decade of gigging in bars when he won the fifth season in 2006, complete with songwriting experience, an ability to play harmonica and guitar, and a pair of self-released albums. On his major-label debut, the Silver Fox settles in a plush, comfortable sound framed by vintage-sounding soul and R&B, as well as classic rock--it's comfort food for the ears. The one thing that's not here is Hicks's first single, 'Do I Make You Proud.' Other than that, the songs are a well-balanced mix of oldies (Marvin Gaye's 'Wherever I Lay My Hat'), newbies that sound like oldies (Rob Thomas's 'Dream Myself Awake,' Bryan Adams's 'The Right Place'), the obligatory Diane Warren ballad ('Places I've Been'), and some party-fun anthems ('The Runaround,' 'Heaven Knows'). This last track actually is one of two paying tribute to Hicks's patron saint, Ray Charles--it references the piano riff from 'What'd I Say,' while 'The Right Place' was originally written for Charles. Clearly, there are worse people to look up to.--Elisabeth Vincentelli
Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Good, not great
I liked this album but didn't love it. I really enjoyed watching Taylor Hicks on American Idol, and I think I might enjoy watching him live than listening to a recording. Something is missing from this studio recording, the soulful voice and aura that I know Taylor Hicks has does not shine through on this recording.
Taylor is, however, one of my favorite idols, but I don't think that this album does him justice. There are a few good parts, but for the most part, it sounds rather karaoke ... Read More
Rating:  - Great music
Great first CD from the American Idol Season 5 winner. Just gotta love his bluesy-soul.
Rating:  - Taylor Hicks is a true artist
I must confess, dear readers, that I am not enamored with the American Idol phenomenon.I used to work in the music business (managed a mid-level rock band, I'd rather not mention names) and I just never thought Idol was more than amateur hour.
Taylor Hicks intrigued me, however, because he couldn't fit the American Idol paradigm less if he tried.He stands out - for all the right reasons.His voice has a gruff, lived-in quality that perfectly suits the material he obviously loves.He ... Read More

"Dream Myself Awake" is a great track here but overall I am disappointed with this effort. Why have remakes on a debut, especially when you are supposedly a decent songwriter? Stick to the originals with the remakes. Paul Young's "Hat" is the perfect remake of that song. This one is not. I expected more. Should this cd have done better than it did? Probably not. Last count season 5 runner-ups #'s 3, 4, 6, and 8 had higher selling CDs and each was better.
Rating: - He's my favorite male "idol"
I loved his sould from the first time I saw him on "Idol" & I still do. Sounds great!
