Keeping up with Phil Stacey

After receiving a free pass to an eighth week in the finals thanks to "Idol Gives Back" last season only to be eliminated the following week along with Chris Richardson, Phil Stacey has been actively pursuing a career in country music. The music video for the sixth=place finisher's debut single "If You Didn't Love Me" premiered on CMT.com on March 11, and the single is currently on its way up the country charts. You can watch the video below.



Stacey, who is signed to Lyric Street Records, is working on his debut self-titled album, and expects it to be released in April. You can listen to his single on his MySpace page.
