The song writing committees begin, with Daughtry, Chad Kroeger, Eric Dill, Rune Westburg and Joey Moi listed as writers. The verses are more relaxed with clean tone guitars and a vocal melody dominating while the Chorus is loud and angry. It’s listed as a Chris Daughtry track and it blasts out of the gate with its heavy metal like intro before it moves into a Nu-Metal like riff. It was a Top 20 album in Australia, Austria, Germany and Switzerland.
Regardless it still was a success.Ĭertified platinum in Canada and the U.S and Certified Silver in the U.K.įor the charts (although the Charts were become irrelevant at this point in time), it was a Top 10 album in Canada, New Zealand and the U.S (also going to Number 1). Again, RCA spent a lot of money to make this album a success, but only three singles were released from this album compared to the seven singles from the debut. Session guru, Phil X also made an appearance to do some additional guitars. Howard Benson is back producing and Chris Lord-Alge is mixing. The band for the album is Chris Daughtry on lead vocals and rhythm guitars, Josh Steely on lead guitars, Brian Craddock on rhythm guitars, Josh Paul on bass guitars and drums were handled by Joey Barnes on tracks 1 to 6 and Robin Diaz on tracks 7 to 12. The songs written with Marx, Tedder, Gontier and Wade didn’t even make the standard edition of the album, but were released as bonus tracks in the various markets and then as an EP called “Leave This Town B-Sides”. No Max Martin or Dr Luke this time around. 70 songs were written for this album, narrowed down to 19 for recording in the studio and 12 songs made the final cut, with the other tracks made available as bonus tracks for different digital stores.ĭaughtry co-wrote the songs on the album with Richard Marx, Chad Kroeger from Nickelback, Ryan Tedder from OneRepublic, Jason Wade from Lifehouse, Adam Gontier from Three Days Grace, Eric Dill from The Click Five, and Mitch Allan from SR-71 and Tommy Henriksen, along with the usual suspects of Brian Howes, Ben Moody and David Hodges. I’m a big believer that quantity equals quality. I like it better than the debut as it’s a hard rock album done in a style I like. “Leave This Town” was released on July 14, 2009, by RCA Records. Of course contractual issues would come about with this band arrangement ideal, because the label deal with RCA Records is with Chris Daughtry only.
And while the songs are written by Chris Daughtry, with outside writers, the music is played by the band members and some songs have the band members as co-writers. So after getting some flak about his band, “Leave This Town” has a cover which shows a band, leaving town. But all the songs were written by Chris Daughtry and outside writers and the music was played by session musicians.
