James Durbin - Celebrate - Rock - CD

2014 album from the AMERICAN IDOL contestant. James Durbin is known for giving metal a chance on Season 10 of AMERICAN IDOL and pushing to keep rock alive on his 2011 debut, MEMORIES OF a BEAUTIFUL DISASTER. But take a deeper look inside Durbin's musical soul and for every Judas Priest song he loved, there was one by the Beatles. For every Sammy Hagar, there was a Michael Jackson. For every ounce of metal that soared through his veins, there were equal amounts of pop hooks, catchy melodies, and sing-along lyrics pumping through his musical heart. It's this musical juxtaposition of rock and pop that Durbin offers up on his eagerly awaited sophomore album, CELEBRATE.
