The album features contributions from Bryan Adams, Diane Warren and Rob Thomas. Taylor's debut includes the single 'The Runaround.\"\n\n\nAmazon.ca\n\n\nThe least you can say about Taylor Hicks is that he's not like prior\nAmerican 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\u0026amp;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.\n--Elisabeth Vincentelli\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 828768798423\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0828768798423\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Audio CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e New\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ID Shop.ca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45942235529250,"sku":"KN-H0WE-G168","price":6.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0889\/9428\/3554\/files\/51C8M27d8KL.jpg?v=1783604313","url":"https:\/\/kastor.club\/products\/taylor-hicks","provider":"Kastor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
