Daughtry also went as far as hiring former Charlottesville Music employee Brian Craddock as his guitarist when putting together his eponymous band in early 2007.

Leave This Town will be available with a quick drive up on Route 29 on July 14th, or can be downloaded immediately on the computer in front of you since it just leaked yesterday (and not in the “MTV preview” sense, although there’s that too).
