Someone in your family is going to either give or receive the debut full-length from recently minted American Idol Taylor Hicks this holiday season, so we figured we’d let you know that it’s started floating around the Internet a good six days before its release next Tuesday. Have a taste of Hicks’ take on the Marvin Gaye song “Wherever I Lay My Hat,” so you’ll have something to talk about with your relatives while you’re waiting for your wine glass to be refilled.
