Said Gregg Wattenberg, Wind-Up’s Chief Creative Officer who co-wrote DAUGHTRY’s Top 10 hit, 'It’s Not Over': “When the possibility of signing James Durbin to Wind-Up Records came up, we knew it was a no-brainer. James is a rock star. We’re all excited to have him as part of the family and can’t wait to let his fans hear his debut album.”
Durbin, who came in fourth, was the season’s resident rocker who had performed songs by the likes of JUDAS PRIEST, SAMMY HAGAR and 30 SECONDS TO MARS - many for the first time on the Idol stage. On the American Idol summer tour, his set included MUSE’s 'Uprising' and GUNS N' ROSES’ 'Sweet Child O Mine.'
