 A Well-Rounded Debut Disc From a Somewhat Unlikely New Country Upstart |

| Question: Do you have to be from "The South" to be country? Also, does someone from the Midwest--Wisconsin, let's say--have the right to sing in the country genre? My answers to both questions are, "no" and "yes", respectively. Danny Gokey, who is a Wisconsin native, attempts to record a country music album, and actually succeeds. His singing is genuine, as well as the production, instrumentation, phrasing and styling, and does not sound insincere unlike someone who would be a "wannabe" country artist. The opening and title track is one of the best in the album, and is instantly melodic. A.I. judge/songstress Kara DioGuardi penned "I Believe", which would make a good single. "Tiny Life"--which is in my opinion the best track and should be the second single--was penned by "What Hurts The Most" songwriter Jeffrey Steele, and has the same impact as that song. I highly recommend this album to anyone who is curious to listen to a good New Country album from a somewhat unlikely artist. |
Excellent Debut

| Danny's "My Best Days" debut is excellent! Every bit as good as the debut released by Carrie Underwood and Daughtry. Danny really has a feel for country music, and I haven't listened to much since it came out. I highly recommend this release. |
Great debute!

| This album is heads above releases by other season 8 idols (Kris Allen, Adam Lambert, Allison Iraheta). Country music fits Danny's voice quite well, and his voice is absolutely incredible. Every song is good; there are no duds in this set. The songs are mostly about making a difference, being happy and affirmative, and finding joy in life, and as such, they seem to flow directly from Danny's heart, even though he did not write them. Danny could and should have a long and successful career in country music, yet his appeal definitely goes beyond that genre. This is just GOOD MUSIC. Way to go, Danny. |
Love, love, LOVE this Danny Gokey CD!

| OMG! I couldn't wait to get this CD. Since last season of American Idol, I have been a big fan. I purchased this on Tuesday (release date) and have already played it entirely at least 50 times. Every song tells a story and Danny is completely believable. Keep up the good work and I hope your next work will be something a little more "pop" related. I am not a big country fan but absolutely love this! |
