Fans of American Idol are no doubt familiar with Casey James, who placed third on the 9th season of the show and was a favorite of many due to his guitar skills and handsome charm (James even won the approval of our own Reality Rocks' Lyndsey Parker, who was bowled over by his rendition of John Lennon's "Jealous Guy" that year). His debut album has been a long time in the works--almost two years--but it's finally arriving on March 20.Casey James
