| What are you thankful for about Daniel Amos? |
     |
With Thanksgiving fast approaching, I ask:
What are you thankful for about Daniel Amos?
Me? Among other things, I'm thankful for "Mr. Buechner's Dream", an inexhaustible goldmine of 32 well-crafted pop/rock gems, that must be one of the best albums ever made.

I'm thankful Daniel Amos makes music! They have brought me 22 years of great music.

I'm thankful for the full artistry and style of the music and lyrics. I would have given up ages ago if not for the quality of both

I'm thankful for a lot, but definitely that Terry & friends (Mike, Derri, Theo, etc.) are still making music, and I even get to see them once a year!

I'm thankful to God that there are still artists with vision and stamina who chase after quality first and sweat the commerce later; creative people who share their experience with the Lord not through the battery of cliches, tired aphorisms and wristband mottos, but with plain, honest communication.
I'm thankful to live in an age where their message can still be heard without fear of being taken away in the middle of the night to be snuffed out for heresy.
I'm thankful Thanksgiving comes but once a year, because natural turkey Tryptophan is making me woozy.

MBD!!!!!!!!!!
And the first City On A Hill Album, which hooked me on Derri's voice, which led me to buy "Green Room Serenade Pt. 1," which made me think about buying MBD, except that I bought "Summershine" from VOL instead, because I though DA might be country...so I'm most thankful that a local radio station decided to play (once and only once) Ordinary-Extraordinary Day, and I heard it, and I rushed out and bought MBD. And I'm thankful MBD was my first DA album, because it is their best and I was not ready for country yet.

Seems Derri's voice is a big drawing force for LD which ultimately leads to TST and DA. At least that happened with me too. And MBD is DA's best album IMHO.

It's good to finally find out that I'm not in the minority, or at least not all alone in that thought! 
btw, I think his voice is just getting better and smoother the older he gets. His voice is so smooth its like butter.

In the early 80s, my brother gave me a copy of "Doppleganger," hoping that it would "witness" to me ... I was totally into punk and though that much of it was strange compared to everything else (Christian music) my brother listened to. Brilliant on the one hand, a little cheesy on the other, but lyrically fascinating.
It was the song "Angels Tuck You In" and its message of not expecting comfort in this world and even embracement of suffering that turned my head around. It was the most punk thing I'd ever heard, though the music was more like Cars-style power pop.
I wish I could say that I live up to the strength of faith described by the singer of that song, but after 13 years of being a Christian I've yet to embrace those ideas as I need to. But I'm trying to, and that song still admonishes me to. It's still right on, even though I still feel like the weak person it exhorts to grow up and take on the yoke.
