Danny Gokey laid down vocals this morning for the next to last song for his forthcoming debut. He’ll be done with his recording by the end of the week.
“Today, then Saturday, and I’m done,” Danny told me today at Nashville’s Starstruck Studios after making a couple runs through a song called Crazy Not To, written by Wendell Mobley, one of Rascal Flatts’ go-to songwriters, along with Marv Green and David Lee Murphy. “From that point, it’s all overdubs.”
So far, four songs from the album — likely to come out in March, though a release date and title have yet to be set — are finished and mixed: It’s Only, the ballad initially intended as Danny’s first single; My Best Days Are Ahead of Me, the uptempo tune eventually chosen as the lead single; Tiny Life, a Jeffrey Steele/Marv Green ballad that takes a big-picture view of life starting from the window of an airplane; and I Still Believe, which is essentially a statement of faith, penned by Kara DioGuardi, Michael Busbee and Barry Dean, with lyrics like, “I don’t really know what tomorrow will bring, but I’m open to all possibilities.”
