CMTT told you a few months ago Danny Gokey who said country music wasn’t his style ended up signing a country music record deal. So he has already hit the ground running with some PO’ed country music fans. The original single from his first album was expected to be a ballad called “It’s Only” but RCA Records Nashville has made the decision to go with the uptempo song “My Best Days Are Ahead of Me”.
“I love this song for what it stands for,” says Danny, who recently performed a shortened version of the song on Los Angeles TV station KTLA. “I don’t live in the past. I live in the ‘now’ … in the future … and in the dreams that I have. I know that my best days really are ahead of me.”
After listening to the song on Danny’s MySpace page I wasn’t overly excited. I was a HUGE fan of his while he was on American Idol. Don’t tell anyone but I may have even voted for him once or twice. BUT this song sounds like any other song on radio right now and isn’t filled with the personality that we are used to seeing him express.
I’m not sure country music will embrace him unless he can sell a butt load of records. He definitely has a great talent I’m just not sure country music is where he belongs.

[...] Country Music Tattle Tale » Danny Gokey Goes Country and Switches … [...]
[...] I said a few weeks ago I wasn’t happy with the single switch that RCA Nashville pulled on Danny Gokey’s upcoming release. I am still standing my by statement that “My Best Days Are Ahead of Me” kinda sounds like everything else on the radio right now. Personally, I feel “It’s Only” shows us a lot more of Danny’s talent, range and personality that we all got to know on American Idol. [...]
