Making sure to keep the recording process close to home, the Leesburg, Georgia-bred 22-year-old enlisted his brother-in-law Ben Neil, who appeared with him on Idol last season, to play guitar on a few tracks.
The album, which is available for pre-order now, will hit stores just in time for the holiday season. Interscope head Jimmy Iovine hopes for a big first week to help its fourth quarter numbers, telling The Hollywood Reporter on Oct. 2, "We're doing what the show sets out to do: give somebody a hit record."
