Clay: The new album
OK, here's most of the scoop on the upcoming, and much-awaited, third album (if you're counting the 2004 Christmas album, which I guess you should). It's called A Thousand Different Ways, it's coming out Sept. 19 (beating the November Idol rush), and it consists of 14 songs, 10 of them covers of '70s, '80s and '90s.

Here's the track listing, in handy alphabetical order:

A Thousand Days (new song)

Because You Loved Me (Celine Dion)

Broken Wings (Mr. Mister, original artist)

Every Time You Go Away (originally Hall & Oates, hit by Paul Young)

Everything I Do (I Do It for You) (Bryan Adams)

Everything I Have (new song)

Here You Come Again (Dolly Parton)

I Want to Know What Love Is (Foreigner)

Lonely No More (new song, co-written by Clay)

Right Here Waiting (Richard Marx)

Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word (Elton John)

These Open Arms (new song, co-written by Jon Bon Jovi)

When I See You Smile (Bad English)

Without You (originally Badfinger, hit by Nilsson)

Quotes from Clay (from the press release) follow.

Said Clay: "These are songs I heard growing up. I loved them then and I still love them today, but we decided to do them a little differently. They have new arrangements, and we put our own style on some of them."

He expounded further: "This is an album of love songs, but they are about all different kinds of love. Romantic love, friendship, unconditional love. There are a thousand different kinds of love; a thousand different ways to tell someone you love them. And, on top of that, since so many of these songs are covers, it's realistic to say that many of them have been or could be sung a thousand different ways."
Clay, as you can see on the previous page, is also sporting the same basic coiffure he showed off on the Idol finale, though I must say he looks quite dashing here.

that being said, I will have to download his version of Here You Come Again, just cos I'm curious...that's my favorite Dolly song...

How can you put your name on the front cover but only sing other people's music; very sad!

you crack me up

Can we kill the whole "covers" album idea. I think the only artists that should be allowed to do a covers CD are artists that people might wanna cover one day, or have been covered. Obviously Clay doesnt fall into the category since he will never get to that place in a Music Career, and also i have never heard a clay aiken song, although im sure he's like James Blunt or that Daniel powder guy.

Also one side note, that track "THESE OPEN ARMS" is not new that is a Bon Jovi song already recorded.

Does the special edition come with a washcloth?!!

Is there a duet with Lance Bass from N-Sync?????

What was Tevin Campbell's involvement in this project?
