I loved Clay on Idol and eagerly bought his first CD, only to be disappointed by the plastic sameness of the tracks (a problem with many Idol CDs it seems). His Christmas CD was, however, excellent, so I again ran out to get his next CD hoping for more of the same. Alas, it was a bunch of tired and bland covers, though his voice actually sounded OK on it. So when he released his latest CD a few months ago I didn't bother getting it. My mistake. I was given an iTunes gift card for my birthday and there was nothing I really wanted so in the end I downloaded Clay's latest album. Wow! Finally, good songs, varied songs, and a return to the voice I remember from Idol (well, almost). Since downloading it a couple of weeks ago I have hardly stopped listening to it, and it hasn't gotten tired yet. From the funky "Everything I Don't Need" to the mournful "Sacrificial Love" and the upbeat "Ashes," there isn't a bad song on the CD. I'm just sorry it took me so long to buy it.
