He has expectations of having a new single to radio sometime over the summer and an album later in 2012.

In June 2012, Hicks will begin a residency at Bally’s Las Vegas, becoming the first Idol in history to secure a residency in Las Vegas.

  4. Taylor did not JUST go Country. He has always played a lot of country roadhouse music. He is just a great live musician and coming from the south has a wide range of musical styles he draws from in his concerts.

  5. I'm NOT a country music fan and even I am looking forward to what he'll put out on this new album. I am a fan of his voice and showmanship, though.
