Editor's note

Taylor Hicks, the Soul Patrol American Idol winner

The 2006 Idol champion who built a steady career on soul covers and original songs.

For a good sense of his lane, try 'Dream Myself Awake' or his take on 'Wherever I Lay My Hat.' They show where he settled in.

Hicks won American Idol's fifth season with a genuine soul voice that felt out of step with pop radio, which made his victory a bit of a surprise. His post-Idol work, like the song 'Dream Myself Awake,' leans into that rootsy, lived-in sound rather than chasing trends. He's kept at it with a touring band and a handful of albums, carving out a modest lane for himself.

After winning Idol in 2006, he released his debut album 'Soul Patrol' that same year. He followed it with three more studio albums over the next decade, the last being 2015's 'Six Strings & A Microphone.' Along the way, he's done some acting gigs on shows like CSI: Miami and Glee.
