My Best Days

by Danny Gokey

Overview

American Idol has launched the country music superstar careers of Carrie Underwood and Kellie Pickler, and now the American people have spoken for Danny Gokey, who placed third in season eight on the popular Fox TV competition. During his tenure on the show, he impressed the judges with his versatility as he performed hits by The Temptations, Carrie Underwood, Michael Jackson, and Rascal Flatts, among others, but it was his buoyant personality and perseverance in the face of adversity that earned Gokey a special place in the hearts of Idol devotees.

"I definitely have something to say with this album and I think people will recognize that," says Gokey. "Music was the catalyst that helped bring healing, a determination and a resolve. When my wife passed, I tried out for American Idol and music brought me hope. It brought me a reason to live again. Now I want to bring that into my music." From the Label
