For us TVphiles, summer officially starts with the premiere of "America's Got Talent." It's part "American Idol," part "Gong Show," part "The Apollo" and all guilty pleasure. As much as I love a good singer, I'm always excited to see what non-vocal acts the show finds, since we see so much singing on various other shows.
Before we get to the new Season 6 contestants, we take a peek at last year's winner Michael Grimm and runner-up Jackie Evancho, both of whom are busy performing. Michael Grimm's self-titled album dropped just a couple weeks ago and it's not bad. He has a "Simple Man" cover featuring Travis Tritt that is really great, there is also a song called "Gasoline and Matches" that features one of my favorite female vocalists of all time - Ann Wilson. Definitely worth a listen if you haven't checked it out yet. Jackie's album drops this summer...
