In my opinion Dan has the best vocals of any artist today. For w/e reason he doesnt get near the amount of recognition he deserves which kinda makes me frustrated...

[BradWingQuay]

It's ridiculous how badly I want this new album.

@guitarobsessed85 By lower I mean when he goes really low, I can't hit his highest note either lol.

[guitarobsessed85]

@tsavolde Yeah. His vocal range makes me angry. I don't have it unfortunately :/ I sing in between his range. I can hit most of his higher notes, nearly none of his lower notes.

[tsavolde]

@guitarobsessed85 Well these songs are popular, that's true, but I wouldn't consider them mainstream as they totally fit to their style. These are still true Augustana songs, you can hear their personal touch and feel their spirit for making music in them. It's more like the mainstream picked those songs up, but it wasn't Dan who produce those songs for the mainstream. I'm a huge fan of them as well! Dan really has got something unique in his voice which I love. =)

[guitarobsessed85]

@tsavolde He has a couple mainstream songs like boston and sweet and low. I didn't even know it was the same band that did those songs when I first got into augustana. My friend let me borrow his car and left his burned augustana cd (he didn't rip the songs he owns them, he just needs copies 'cause he destroys cds) in the stereo and I there was no name on the cd. I really loved all the songs on it. Now I'm such a fan. His vocal range is amazing!

@notkroqer2 ditto

[emiliaaigartuaav]

@notkroqer2 totally agree with you

[tsavolde]

Man Augustana never gets old, I just love them. I've heard every single one of their albums, and I'm glad to find that Dan sticks to his style and doesn't produce music for the mainstream. All my respect goes out to the guys from Augustana for being loyal to their music and not going for the cash like many other bands do.

Thanks, Augustana!

i find this song even better than the original!

Stumptown is a local beer, Ain't Dan great! David Lamoureux since this session is back with Augustans and playing his heart out - sounds like Chris Martin's piano from time to time...

[krusader85]

Dan has a smexy voice
