在《Daughtry》这张专辑中，Chris Daughtry不仅得到了曾与“我的化学浪漫”（My Chemical Romance）和All-American Rejects等当红乐队合作过的制作人Howard Benson的帮助，就连我们十分熟悉的金属吉他英雄Slash也跨刀助阵，与Daughtry合作了一首《What I Want》。从专辑中的歌曲来看，除了与Slash合作的《What I Want》以外，开场曲《It's Not Over》，《Home》，《Gone》和《What About Now》等多首单曲的旋律都还是非常不错的。

　　对于Chris Daughtry这样一位半路出家玩摇滚的歌手来说，这张《Daughtry》可以算作是一样相当出色的处女专辑。作为一位摇滚乐队的主唱，Chris Daughtry的嗓音条件和驾驭不同音域歌曲的能力都比与他有几分相似的Nickelback主唱Chad Kroeger要更出色，但如果以更高的标准来衡量Chris Daughtry和他乐队的这张专辑的话，可以说，这张《Daughtry》只能说是他较好的完成了从“美国偶像”一位普通的参赛选手到原创音乐人之间的转变。

英文歌词：
Shadows fill an empty heart
As love is fading,
From all the things that we are
But are not saying.
Can we see beyond the scars
And make it to the dawn?
Change the colors of the sky.
And open up to
The ways you made me feel alive,
The ways I loved you.
For all the things that never died,
To make it through the night,
Love will find you.
What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late,
What about now?

The sun is breaking in your eyes
To start a new day.
This broken heart can still survive
With a touch of your grace.
Shadows fade into the light.
I am by your side,
Where love will find you.
What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love, it never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late,
What about now?
Now that we're here,
Now that we've come this far,
Just hold on.
There is nothing to fear,
For I am right beside you.
For all my life,
I am yours.
What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late,
Baby, before it's too late,
Baby, before it's too late,
What about now?
