In case you had not stayed abreast of the career arc of Taylor Hicks, which peaked with his Season Five American Idol win but hit its nadir when he started performing in front for "30-something yuppies" in Southeast Asian malls after being dropped by Sony BMG, allow us to report some positive news: his long-awaited, self-released new album, Early Works, is finally in stores! Well, in store: it's available exclusively through Target, where it will retail for $9.98. Our heartiest congratulations!
