My Best Days by Danny Gokey

My Best Days by Danny Gokey - 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. — by Jackson T. Nongyow “wolfpup77″
