Thursday (April 4) is going to be one heck of a country music-filled night on 'American Idol.' Not only is Season 4 winner Carrie Underwood taking the stage to debut her new single 'See You Again' for the 'Idol' faithful, but former contestant Casey James will be on hand for the live premiere of his new song 'The Good Life' during the very same episode.

Casey James, 'The Good Life' – Song Review

Billy Dukes — Thu, 14 Mar 2013 16:00:22 +0000

Casey James‘ third single from his self-titled debut album is a pleasing three minutes and five seconds, but the toe-tapper is easy to forget. ‘The Good Life’ lacks the emotional hook that the best carefree country expressions posses. The song is sort of like licking the frosting from a cupcake. Sure it’s tasty, but the [...]

Casey James remains steadfast in his No Shave November commitment. This month, he's been forgoing any his usual facial hair grooming habits in support of Locks of Love, an organization that makes wigs from the donated hair for cancer patients who have lost their hair following intensive chemotherapy. The country newcomer admits that the goodwill effort is one that hits particularly close to home.

60 Seconds With Casey James

Casey James is as honest in an interview as he is with his music. The Texan and one-time 'American Idol' contestant took a few minutes -- OK, just one minute -- to dish on his troubled youth, his showering preferences and how Keith Urban will do on the show that launched his career nearly three years ago. We already covered questions of inspiration, heartbreak and love in previous interviews, so it was time to get the real scoop from the 'Cryin' on a Suitcase' himater.

Casey James, 'Crying on a Suitcase' – Song Review

Billy Dukes — Fri, 01 Jun 2012 14:49:27 +0000

‘Crying on a Suitcase’ is one of two songs on Casey James‘ self-titled debut that the singer didn’t help write, but the song doesn’t suffer from any lack of personal connection. It’s a more straightforward, mainstream country song than his previous single ‘Let’s Don’t Call It a Night,’ which leaned more toward soul or blues. James’ delivery here is appropriately urgent.

Casey James Delivers 'Let's Don't Call It a Night' Performance on 'Ellen'

On Wednesday, Texas native and 2010 ‘American Idol‘ finalist Casey James made an appearance on ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’ to perform the lead single from his self-titled debut, which just dropped March 20. Performing ‘Let’s Don’t Call It a Night’ for the studio and television audiences, James seemed quite relaxed and natural wielding his electric guitar with his band.
