As one of the finalists on the fifth season of the AMERICAN IDOL reality-TV show, North Carolina-based neo-grunge vocalist Chris Daughtry garnered even more attention by getting asked to be the frontman for the group Fuel, and then, surprisingly, declining the offer. This 2006 album, technically credited to the band Daughtry, reveals what the singer opted for instead, offering up impressively catchy, yet requisitely brooding, heavy rock, as best revealed on the emotive "It's Not Over" and the urgent "What I Want," which features former Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash.

Entertainment Weekly (p.80) - "The single 'It's Not Over' is ridiculously catchy..." -- Grade: B Kerrang (Magazine) (p.49) - "[T]he man certainly has an impressive set of pipes..."

Daughtry is the rock band fronted by singer-songwriter Chris Daughtry. The eponymous frontman is one in a series of artists who, while not victorious on the popular television show AMERICAN IDOL, were given tremendous career boosts thanks to their appearances there (however brief). Daughtry finished fifth overall in 2006, and started his band immediately after elimination. His brand of heartfelt angst-tinged rock proved enormously successful, a testament as much to the power of AMERICAN IDOL as to the talent of Daughtry himself.
