Casey James to release debut album in March

[keb]

Casey James co-wrote all but two of the 11 songs on his self-titled album, which comes out March 20.

The third-place finisher on American Idol's ninth season teamed with several A-list Nashville writers like Terry McBride and Brice Long (the team that wrote single Let's Don't Call It a Night, as well as Love the Way You Miss Me), and Brad and Brett Warren, who co-wrote Toby Keith's Red Solo Cup and Dierks Bentley's Feel That Fire, as well as the bluesy Drive on Casey's album.

Casey co-produced the album with Chris Lindsey. The final track, Miss Your Fire, also includes Lindsey's wife, songwriter Aimee Mayo, as a co-writer and co-producer. Mayo, whose country hits include Lonestar's Amazed and Martina McBride's This One's for the Girls, also co-wrote Adam Lambert's Sleepwalker and Kellie Pickler's Red High Heels, along with several other of her tunes.

Casey plays electric and acoustic guitar throughout his album, which features lots of the slide playing that his fans had been hoping for. Pat Buchanan, Ilya Toshinsky and B. James Lowry also played guitar on the album, with Dan Dugmore playing pedal steel.

Here's the full list, with songwriting credits:

The Good Life (Casey James/Scooter Carusoe)
Crying On A Suitcase (Lee Thomas Miller/Tom Shapiro/Neil Thrasher)
Let's Don't Call It A Night (Casey James/Brice Long/Terry McBride)

Casey is having his CD release party @ Billy Bob's in Ft. Worth Texas on March 23 2012.

Last time he played there the show was 2 1/2 hours,

Am I going? What do you think!

I'm so glad you're going to the cd release party Kathy! That should be awesome!

I read that Casey is playing in Foxborough MA on March 1st. Not too far away but I'm broke and the car isn't working well so I doubt it will happen.
Bummed!
