Release Notes:
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.
