Clay Aiken Vocal Perfection
by Reilly1 on 3/13/10Progress Energy Center Raleigh Memorial Auditorium - RaleighClay Aiken previewed his upcoming album Tried and True to a packed house as part of a television taping for a future PBS special. The genre was 50's and 60's music but with all new jazzy and big band arrangements by Chris Walden. Beginning with an ultra cool version of Mack the Knife and including a specially arranged version of Unchained Melody written just for Clay, the night was a wall of sound and spectacular production. Guests included long time friend Ruben Studdard who performed an interesting medley of today's more popular dance and hiphop songs but in a big band format. Don't miss this when it comes on PBS sometime in early to mid-summer.
