HICKS FINDS NICHE
June 20, 2008 —
‘AMERICAN Idol” winner Taylor Hicks has finally landed with a record label more in-tune with his personality.
Vanguard Records, the longtime purveyor of jazz, blues and folk, has agreed to distribute Hicks’ next album, which he plans to cut on his own label, Modern Whomp Records.
The disc is expected to be comprised mostly of Hicks’ pre-”Idol” tunes and is slated for release in August.
Hicks is currently appearing as the “Teen Angel” in Broadway’s “Grease.”
This nothing will hopefully just fade away. He was nothing before AI, but now has to rely on pre-Idol music? Seems like the producers want nothing more to do with him. Chris Daughtry has been laughing all the way to the bank.
thanks for the info....i’ll be on the look-out....Carrie was here in Mobile Friday - and according to the paper put on a great show!!
