	Michael Johns was the eighth place winner of American Idol Season 7 and is loved by people everywhere.  Encouraged by his mentor David Foster, Johns chose the road less traveled in December 2008 and went to work on an album with no deal in place. In the early part of 2009, Johns had completed the album and was ready to turn in, but he had the rare freedom to shop it around, and when Downtown Records showed interest in a licensing deal, he jumped at the opportunity to finally control his own fate.
