‘Idol’ finalist stays positive on busy publicity tour for debut album
By Jan UebelherrNashville, Tenn. — Danny Gokey stands in his dressing room at Great American Country, the country music cable television network, checking out his look in a full-length mirror.
It’s less than a week before the release on Tuesday of his debut album, “My Best Days,” and he’s deep into yet another 14-hour day of promoting the big event.
Hot off his Season 8 “American Idol” ride, (he came in third), the 29-year-old Milwaukeean is in the middle of an experience that most musicians can only dream of: a CD on a major label, recorded in Music City, no less – and all the trappings that go with creating a new star.
His stylist arrives with a suitcase jammed with snappy jackets, lean vests and skinny-leg jeans – lots of gray and black.
“I love jackets,” Gokey says, turning up the collar of a gray leather number.

JSOnline (Milwaukee, WI): CD Review: Gokey can sing; other songs might help
Danny Gokey
My Best Days
19 Recordings/RCA NashvilleIf the sympathy vote had been the deciding factor on Season 8 of “American Idol,” Danny Gokey would have taken first place in a walk: The Milwaukee native entered his first audition for the show four weeks after his wife, who had recommended he try out, died during surgery.
His third-place finish, behind Adam Lambert (wow) and Kris Allen (yawn), was probably a bittersweet result, but he sounds upbeat on his first album, “My Best Days,” in stores Tuesday.

Music Row: Bobby Karl Works the (CRS) Room – Chapter 333

Filed under Danny Gokey
Thursday’s Sony luncheon (2/25) was turkey and dressing with all the trimmings. Skip Bishop hosted. Danny Gokey sang splendidly on the rocking, soaring “My Best Days Are Ahead of Me.” Just before he competed on American Idol, Danny’s wife died. It turns out that so did the wife of his single’s co-writer, Kent Blazy. So this song has special meaning. “I’m excited about life again,” explained Danny, dedicating “I Will Not Say Goodbye” to his late spouse.

DannyGokey.com: Danny Gokey’s biography updated

Filed under Danny Gokey
From his days of long hours as a truck driver to his third place finish on Season Eight of American Idol, Danny Gokey has always been a student of life. With an artist’s eye for detail and an inquisitive spirit eager to learn from every situation, Gokey has soaked up more life experience than most people twice his age. From the joyful to the heartbreaking, those experiences infuse Gokey’s 19 Recordings/RCA Nashville debut, My Best Days, a collection of songs that resonate with honest emotion and tap into the collective hopes and dreams that define life.
In listening to the album, it is obvious Gokey has a strong sense of who he is as an artist and what he wants to say to his audience. There’s a focus and a sense of purpose rarely found on a debut disc. “It’s country, but it has a little different edge,” says the Milwaukee native. “I want to create my own fingerprint, and I want my music to say something. I want to have an emotional connection, but at the same time, I want to make people just have a good time, make them want to dance, have fun and party. I wanted to throw all those emotions in that CD, and I feel like I accomplished that.”
During his tenure on American Idol, Gokey impressed the judges with his versatility as he performed hits by The Temptations, Carrie Underwood, Michael Jackson and Rascal Flatts, among others. As he continued to rise through the ranks of Idol hopefuls, it became increasingly clear that Gokey was blessed with a voice that could sing any style of music and turn any song into a compelling moment. So why did he choose a career as a country artist? “I felt like I could be myself,” he says matter-of-factly, and admits he got some career advice from someone he respected. “Randy Travis was a mentor for American Idol, and he asked me, ‘Have you thought about country? You really need to, because people would love you and the amount of soul that you could bring to country. You bring a uniqueness to it.’”
