Daughtry's deluxe edition to hit stores Sept. 9

Although the band is currently in the studio recording its sophomore album, Daughtry will see its quadruple platinum-certified debut hit stores in the form of a deluxe CD/DVD edition on Sept. 9, 2008. According to DaughtryOfficial.com, the CD portion of the deluxe edition will feature bonuses including acoustic versions of "What About Now," "It's Not Over" and "Home," as well as a cover of Foreigner's "Feels Like The First Time."

As for the DVD portion of the release, it will include the band's five music videos, footage from the tour bus as well as other exclusive clips.

As for the upcoming album, Chris blogged about the writing process yesterday, and listed a bunch of writers that are contributing:

Guys like Dave Basset (Shinedown) and Tommy Heriksen (Revis). I've also been doing some writing with some of the guys I've worked with before like Mitch Allan (All These Lives), David Hodges and Ben Moody (What About Now), Brian Howes (What I Want, Over You), and Zac Maloy (Used To). I'm also writing with some other people that I totally respect as writers and artists such as Ryan Tedder (One Republic) ,and my good friend Emerson Hart (Tonic).

The guys have a lot to live up to, but the impressive writing roster looks like the band will have a repeat in terms of commercial success.
