Daughtry
Daughtry Chris Daughtry starts his first post-American Idol disc with a song whose title reviewers coast to coast will be grateful for: “It’s Not Over.” What an understatement. For the Idol-watching rock fan’s money, nobody–not even Southern-fried heartthrob Bo Bice in season four–stormed the stage with more raw talent. That it translates so well to a solo disc (Daughtry was recorded with studio musicians; future discs will include a Daughtry-assembled band) proves all he needed was a little prodding, the kind the tube has gotten so good at. Here are a dozen songs that’ll flick your rock & roll switch, whether you’re a Creed fan, a club kid, or a mambo king: “Used To” and “Over You,” a couple of early tracks, ought to arrive bundled with a road map they’re so highway sing-along-ready, and “Feels Like Tonight” screws the lid on the premise that Daughtry can deliver a punchy pop-rock song without flinching. Elsewhere, the North Carolina family man lets his inner (and outer, actually) goatee- and eyeliner-type guy rip: his built-for-the-hard-stuff voice bites down appealingly on “Breakdown,” a dark serenade to mental health, and also on “What I Want,” an ’80s-style fist-pumper featuring Slash. The loud mad dash of those songs leads to a midtempo wind-down (”All These Lives,” “What About Now”), but as a mix, it works. Daughtry is a man of many moods–contemplative, explosive, insistent, humble. No matter which pokes through on a given song, he steadies it to a place as honest as it is accessible. Rare is the rocker who lays out so broad an on-ramp. –Tammy La Gorce
Customer Review: LOVE IT
Love this album, love Chris Daughtry. It’s softer than I thought it would be but I don’t mind. My only criticism is that most of the songs sound the same, but I like this kind of rock music so it doesn’t bother me one bit. Why he didn’t win American Idol is beyond me. He has an amazing voice and is a talented songwriter.
