Watch Danny Gokey's live return to the "American Idol" stage with "My Best Days Are Ahead of Me."
Following in the footsteps of fellow season 8 alums Allison Iraheta and Kris Allen, Danny Gokey returned to "American Idol." He regaled the audience with his new country sound on his hit single "My Best Days Are Ahead of Me."
Danny's album "My Best Days" dropped Tuesday, March 2 and feature not only "Ahead of Me" but several other authentic, fun country numbers. We particularly liked "Get Away" and "I Will Not Say Goodbye."Danny will get alot of life out of this first album. There are several songs that are not genre bound to country.
I think RCA is looking for longevity with Danny and not an initial flash-in-the-pan splashy beginning that sputters out. Hence, the reason for picking My Best Days as the first single. I don’t think this one is Danny’s best showcase but it can appeal to a broad audience.There is no way anyone expected 80K for Gokey. His album comes months after the others, and his promo machine has nowhere near the vigor of Kris’ or Adam’s. By any measure, 50K would be a phenomenal debut coming from a 3rd place finisher doing “country” from a “soul perspective.” And remember, many, many folks thought he’d never get an album deal at all.
