Clay Aiken has never sounded more at home than he does singing the lushly arranged classics on his fifth studio album Tried and True – the international pop phenomenon’s first album for Decca Records. Showcasing Aiken’s powerful voice and considerable interpretive gifts, the new CD is comprised of songs from the ’50s and ’60s that Aiken grew up listening to as a child. The platinum-selling artist and idol to many has arguably never sounded better. Tried and True will be available everywhere on June 1st.
For Aiken, Tried and True (so named because he feels the songs have stood the test of time) was about getting back to himself after a career performing more pop-oriented material. “There are a lot of elements to this album that are about me returning to what I’m comfortable with,” Aiken says. “To me, older songs are more melodically appealing and beautiful. So doing this album was an opportunity to just be myself.”

He sounds wonderful singing these classics. Can’t wait till the CD drops on June 1 and his PBS special in August.
I really like the retro 50’s look and Clay’s interpretation of these classics. Good to see him back in town.
The previews of the songs and the special sound amazing.
I’m thrilled to be going to my first Clay concert this summer and what a great bonus that Ruben will be there with him.
He sounds great singing these songs. His recent concert introducing the CD was amazing and will be on different PBS stations in August. The CD comes out June 1st and I cannot wait to hear it!!!!!
And true to himself he is. He’s never sounded better and I’m looking forward to his PBS special and getting this CD. A few if the snippets are available at www. clayonline.com and at youtube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MT7vyxzxEY.
