DAUGHTRY - Daughtry [Deluxe Version] (CD)

All Music Guide

The deluxe 2008 reissue of DAUGHTRY'S eponymous 2006 debut is expanded by four new audio tracks a live version of the band's first big hit "It's Not Over," acoustic versions of "Home" and "What About Now" (the latter taken from their Idol Gives Back performance), and a cover of Foreigner's "Feels like the First Time" that is a little bit too close to lead singer Christ Daughtry's American Idol roots and a DVD that has all the bands promotional videos, two live performances and some interviews. All of this is material designed to get fans that already own the debut to purchase the record again, and while the musical offerings are a bit meager only "Feels Like the First Time" is genuinely new, and it's not that good the DVD should be enough to tide over hardcore fans until the second album.
