Finally!  We have been waiting a long time for the third runner up from American Idol sign a record deal and the time is here!  And guess what? Danny Gokey isn’t going to be doing an R&B album like her originally intended to make.  Nope, he’s on the road to a country album and I think he is making a great choice!  Danny rocked the country songs on the show and they fit him like a glove,

“I didn’t realize the ‘Idol’ experience would give me a musical direction, but it did,” said Gokey. “There were country songs that I performed on the show, and it was the message and the feeling in those kinds of songs that helped me realize that country is where I belong.”

He added, “I grew up in a family where I was exposed to music from artists like Alan Jackson and Wynonna and Brooks & Dunn, and when Randy Travis was on the show and asked me if I’d ever considered country music, it was one more sign of where I knew I needed to be.”

So, we will now be waiting anxiously for Danny’s debut album with 19 Recordings and RCA Nashville to hit stores.  It’s going to be great!

Congratulations Danny!
