Street Week and beyond for The Distance… We start a new journey this week….with Taylor Hicks and The Distance! We’ve done this before…celebrated, posted, pixelled (that would be Allyn) and bought a new Taylor CD! It’s fun and exciting, and we’ll happily do it again this week! We must have it in our hands on drop day…even if it is a 150 mile drive to buy it. It might just be a “leave day” or “sick day” (I should have scheduled a doctor’s appointment!) from work. Bosses, don’t read this. We’re emptying our DVRs for new recordings of Taylor Hicks, who will be everywhere this week. (Good news…airfares are down!) Join us for one of those milestone times when we celebrate the best of Taylor Hicks—new music as only Taylor can deliver it! We want your experiences buying the CD, thoughts and reviews about the songs, information….everything under the sun about The Distance. Start threads, post, read, reflect, explain, expound... Have a great time…enjoy Taylor and The Distance! And tell us all about it! Another road trip! And we’re going the Distance!! San |

Many sites are bunching Kelly and Taylor together because of their mutual release date and their AI connection. This might be a good thing. More readers and the association can't be a bad thing. Kelly's fans have always been kind to Taylor as have Carrie's fans. Another American Idol, silver-haired singer, Taylor Hicks, releases his latest, The Distance, this week. The first single off the album, "What's Right Is Right," is classic Hicks - smooth crooning with a heavy dose of R&B and a splash of soft rock. Yes, I know the term "soft rock" is like the anti-Viagra, but don't be haters. Taylor dwells in that warm, comfy, place that plenty of people don't mind settling into. And, no, that's not a euphemism. Get your minds out of the gutter. http://www.limelife.com/blog-entry/Kelly-Clarkson-and-Taylor-Hicks-Still-Riding-the-Wave/3255.html |

We'll all be there, san - thanks for voicing those great sentiments! What fun it will be to see everyone's story about getting their own copy of "The Distance" - I'll be at work (I already had a doctor's appointment today, LOL - great idea, san) - but thanks to my hubby, I will get a copy hand-delivered as soon as the stores open - with more copies to come in the mail soon!

A message from Taylor at his myspace. Go there and make a comment . This is a wonderful thank you from Taylor and gives us some hope for the future. http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=55986260&blogId=475775625 Tuesday, March 10, 2009 The Distance Hello, Well the day is finally here release day of" The Distance". I am writting you all to express how excited I am for everyone to really get a chance to listen to the record!! I also want to send a BIG THANK YOU to all of the fans, friends and family and staff who have worked so hard on this record. I really am in a comfortable place with where I want to be as an entertainer.. I wanted to record songs that can really come to life from a live standpoint as well..There is a wonderful and savy plan in place for working this record for an extended amount of time. We are still holding some exciting things for the second single as well!! I'm also excited about touring with the Broadway show "Grease" because it allows me to really be with new and old fans all across the country again and I get to sing the single every night as well... I will tour this record. I believe that people have to also understand that the buisness of tour production is challenging to say the least. Also I just want to pass along that I will be overhauling the HQ site soon with a brand new look and alot more insight to what's happening out here on the road. If u haven't noticed I'm starting to warm up to those blogs!! Thanks for being fans..This year plans to be a lot of FUN. So enjoy The Distance..I will..Best..Taylor Taylor Hicks on iLike - Add iLike to your MySpace |

I just heard "Indiscriminate Act of Kindness". It gave me chills - Taylor's vocals gave me chills. It is so hauntingly and beautifully done. It is the BEST vocal from Taylor! And the best arrangement. I'm a little stunned it moved me so much. |
