Jukebox Playlist Provides Clues
Fans need look no farther than the very popular 2005 Jukebox Tour for clues about possible tracks for the new album. Message board supposition is indeed in full swing!
A fan favorite throughout North America, the Jukebox Tour featured Clay, a seven-piece band, and three back-up singers performing music of the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s, with tracks from the Measure of a Man album, and some new songs being considered for the second CD.
Slow tempo, up tempo, you name it -- Jukebox Tour videos are an excellent source for deliberation while fans await album news and snippets.
The JBT 50s medley included such favorites as "The Great Pretender," "Only You," "That'll Be the Day, "Rock and Roll Is Here To Stay," and "Unchained Melody" plus an entire segment devoted to Elvis.

The Decca Decade is off to a rip-roaring start. No doubt the JBT rewinds provide a starting point for speculation -- that is, until the next nugget arrives on Twitter or Facebook.
In the midst of CD/PBS celebrations, fans are remembering their Haitian neighbors. Visit UNICEF and help spread the word to citizens of the world who would like to help. Link others to this Haiti Earthquake PSA video.
SueReu's excellent montage Haiti - Give the Gift of Life Through UNICEF is accompanied by Clay's "Grace of God" vocal.
Have a wonderful weekend, Clay Nation!

The JBT was my favorite, and some of that music might be on the new CD!!!!
I'm so ready for the delightful "Age of Decca".
Can hardly wait!!Please, whoever decides, let us be able to go to the taping for the PBS special....
JBT was my favorite tour of Clay's! He sings the 50's and 60's so much better than the original artists. I cannot wait for the new CD and TV special. The best is yet to come! Yes, please let us go to the PBC special taping!!! Let us know way ahead of time so we can plan.
This is so exciting. I can't wait for the PBS special and the new CD. Clay Aiken is the best.

Caro, I am having a blast watching the JBT videos over and over and over again. These are such great songs. I grew up with these songs and have great memories to go with them. Clay has such great stage presence to go along with his magnificent voice. I can't wait to be able to see him for the first time.

"Age of Decca" I like how that sounds!
Thanks so much for those exciting Jukebox Video's. I am so happy about Clay's new CD and the PBS Special. I am so ready for what is to come in 2010. Bring it Clay!
You know, I came here yesterday and watched every single video. I must have gotten into one of those Clay Aiken trances because I see I forgot to comment *g*
I am very VERY excited for this CD!!! and even MORE excited for the PBS SPECIAL!!! (Clay, commercial free - be still my heart)
Thank you for posting the Haiti montage - I cannot even begin to imagine the horror that those children have been through and continue to struggle with on a daily basis. 100% of your donation to UNICEF will go directly to aiding the children of Haiti. I encourage everyone to give what they can, even if it's a small amount. Every little bit helps!
Have a great weekend!
Thanks caro. Beautiful blog. A love Jukebox tour. I believe that Clay sings beautiful any song and I wait with longings new CD. Thank you for the link of Sue's montage. Very beautiful
I think that the JBT Tour was one of the most enjoyable concerts ever. It had a little something for everyone, a mix of old and something new. Clay was as charming as ever, especially the opening with him doing the "Fonzi" hit the jukebox bit!
Connor and I are babysitting each other tonight as Mr. Sandy attends his football team's banquet. Connor is on Club Penquin and I'm all over the place - farming, watching hockey, watching football and going back and forth to various message boards! A busy night for sure. Oh and we even did some homework!
Thanks for all these great memories of a great concert!
Sandy
~I often think of Joan these days and know how excited she would have been~
Of all Clay's tours I think the JBT was the best one. If he gets to choose the songs on the new CD I think he'll knock everyone's socks off.
