The Distance is the second studio album by American blue-eyed soul singer Taylor Hicks, released on March 10, 2009.[1] It is the first release by Hicks under his own independent label, Modern Whomp, after parting ways with Arista Records.
The Distance was produced by Simon Climie and features eleven tracks on the main version, including the single "What's Right Is Right" and "Nineteen", which tells the story of a teenage football star who joins the armed forces after the 9/11 attacks.[2] Several tracks feature Nathan East and Doyle Bramhall II, both longtime members of Eric Clapton's band. "Seven Mile Breakdown" was originally recorded by Alabama indie band Spoonful James.[3] It debuted at number 58 on the Billboard 200 and number five on the Top Independent Albums charts with sales of 9,000 copies in its first week of release.
