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
