Hicks has a nice career singing in seedy taverns for the next 10 years in front of him. ;o)
He has a nice voice and I think he just needs the right songs like anyone....and he will be just fine....
He's already done his time in seedy taverns for the last 10 years. Now, the whole country will get to hear his soul-ful voice! Can't wait, he's definitely ready for the BIG time!
