Phil Stacey fans will be thrilled to hear the latest news on his front. He will release his debut CD on Tuesday, April 15, 2008! The album is produced by Grammy Award winner Wayne Kirkpatrick. Phil's debut CD will include his first single, "If You Didn't Love Me," which was just released to country radio last week. The song was written by Wendell Mobley, Jason Sellers and Rascal Flatts' Gary LeVox. In 2007, Phil came to national attention when he performed for an average 30 million viewers for eleven weeks during his competition on the sixth season of American Idol. His renditions of the country hits "Where The Blacktop Ends," "The Change" and "I Need You" were among his most praised performances of the season. Following his time on American Idol, Phil toured with his fellow contestants over the summer on a capacity crowd 55-city tour. After that, he moved to Nashville with wife Kendra and their two daughters to pursue his country music career. Check out this fun photo of Phil with AI Hair Stylist Dean Banowetz from last season!
