American Idol is burning bright yet again, season five champion Taylor Hicks is releasing his latest CD, The Distance. Mr. Soul Patrol took a few minutes from touring the country in Grease to share insight into winning American Idol and life since the confetti flew on the Kodak Theatre stage.
Taylor Hicks, as all American Idol fans know, is a product of Alabama and he credits a challenging childhood with his passion for the blues.
American fell in love with Hicks and his Soul Patrol as they voted him American Idol champ in 2006 over Katherine McPhee. Since then Hicks has hit number one with his debut single, Do I Make You Proud? and written a biography Heart Full of Soul: An Inspirational Memoir About Finding Your Voice and Finding Your Way.
Even though his 2007 self-titled album went platinum, Arista records dropped Hicks from the label in 2008. Hicks is putting out his own album on Modern Whomp Records that lands in stores today, Hicks is ready to once again go The Distance.
