Michele Amabile Angermiller of the Hollywood Reporter reports:
American Idol season 13 winner Caleb Johnson will release his new album, Testify, on August 12th. The album is available for pre-order at iTunes.
“It’s been crazy,” says Johnson of shuttling back-and-forth from the American Idol LIVE! summer tour to the studio to put the finishing touches on Testify. “You kind of have to get in the zone where you are going non-stop. You are working 24-7, so you just get in a mode… Now everything is done and I can focus on the tour.”
Johnson has described Testify as “the church of rock and roll. … It’s over-the-top, it’s dramatic, it’s raw…theatrical like Queen and Meatloaf…heavy, stripped-down blues rock.”

See you in hell my friend…..see you in hell my friend……..see….you…..in…heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeellllllllllllllllllllll!
The fact that he is even on the show ruins any type of credibility that he might have had. The masses that love metal and hard rock will never take this guy seriously. No matter if he does a solo thing or tries to put a band together.
He will be reduced to the level of Michael Sweet and Stryper. Like a car wreck, you know you should look away, but you can’t because it is so horrible.
You’re probably right Harry, but it remains to be seen.
I hope he does well, I really dig his voice and I truly appreciate that he is such a massive classic and hard rock fan.
