Editorial Reviews

People Magazine
"...testosterone-amped versions of pop-songed hits"

Product Description
You may remember The Dan Band from the hit movie "Old School", cursing their way through Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart", or crooning Roberta Flack's "Feel Like Making Love" to a 13-year old girl at her bat mitzvah in "Starsky and Hutch". "The Dan Band Live" captures their raucous high energy live show, featuring Dan's version of 80's and 90's diva classics such as "Free your Mind/I Am Woman", "Shoop/Whatta Man/Never Gonna Get It", "You Oughta Know", "Genie In A Bottle/No Scrubs/Slave 4 U", and much more.

5 out of 5 stars The Dan Band rocks!.......2007-01-09

This CD is a great representation of what The Dan Band is like live. Having seen them twice in concert, I can say that this will give you a good feel, and you'll really enjoy this CD.

4 out of 5 stars Total Eclipse of the Heart.......2006-07-23

This CD has some very clever and funny remakes of songs that we all know. You can hear the crowd in the background, they're so animated! It's a great lifter for when you may be in a bad mood. My favorite song on the album would have to be Total Eclipse of the Heart...it's amazing!

5 out of 5 stars The Dan Band Live.......2006-03-22

5 out of 5 stars Love The Album.......2006-03-05

5 out of 5 stars CAPTURES THE EXCITEMENT.......2006-02-26

Having enjoyed this CD for almost a year now (it was released in April '05), I finally got a chance to catch The Dan Band live last night at The 9:30 Club in D.C. Dan and the boys played all of this CD (minus the Christmas song) along with Muskrat Love. All I can say is that's the most animated I've ever seen the crowd there. This is an excellent CD that captures all of the excitement that is The Dan Band. Now all they need to do is release the Bravo special on DVD.

Amazon.com

A benefit CD for Earthjustice, Where We Live touts "the Universal Right to Clean Air & Clean Water." Sixteen tracks in various rootsy styles wind a thread through nature imagery ("Like a tree planted by the water, I shall not be moved," sings Pops Staples; Bob Dylan is represented by his great, forgotten 1971 single "Watching the River Flow") and a more general theme of peace and social justice (Willie Nelson's "Living in the Promiseland," the Neville Brothers' "Sister Rosa"). Veteran singer-activists Sweet Honey in the Rock link the two with "More Than a Paycheck," a song about the perils of pollution and simply trying to keep food on the table. Cannily promoting a theme of Christian spirituality (the Staples and Nevilles tracks, along with those by Maria Muldaur and Bonnie Raitt, Tina Turner and Robert Cray, and John Hammond and Tom Waits) as a corollary to environmental support, the album also seeks to pull the sense of righteousness away from corporate and right-wing political interests. --Rickey Wright

5 out of 5 stars Great diverse mix-soulful, groovy, upbeat & surprise ending!.......2003-10-07

Yeah, the Capt. Beefheart bit at the end is jarring but hilarious. According to the track notes (and you can read all about this cd & listen to some of the tracks at www.wherewelive.org) the Capt. sung it over the phone to the album's compiler and you can hear them laughing at the end! It's his first "recording" in years...

I think all of the tracks are considered hard-to-find if not impossible. This freshness makes all the tracks worthy, even if you know the artist inside out (like me & Willie Nelson). Some we're all just hungry for more of, like Norah Jones. Definately in the soulful & groovy category, nothing hard or pulsing. Good all-round anytime music.

5 out of 5 stars Great Gift Idea for the Holidays.......2003-10-06

1. I hate shopping, especially during the holidays.
2. One year I tried avoiding shopping by making a donation to a charitable organization in the name of family/friends, didn't go over too well. Nice thought...but let's face it, everyone likes opening presents.

This CD solves both my problems. Most compilation CD's usually have a few good songs, this one has a ton. A great variety of artists and styles, really has something for everyone.

My holiday shopping is going to be alot easier this year, and I'll be giving gifts to help a great cause.

4 out of 5 stars Rare cuts, nice mix.......2003-10-02

I got a review copy for a newsletter I do. Wow. I usually don't go for compilations - but the mix here is really nice. (Beware the surprise track by Captain Beefheart at the end designed to wake you up.)

Need a groovy dinner disc? This is it. And for a good cause it seems.

Played this one for the girlfriend and she asked me to play it again. A rarity around my house.

Pick it up.

5 out of 5 stars Good Cause, Better Music.......2003-10-02

This is a magnificent collection of cuts from wonderful artists to benefit Earthjustice, the nonprofit environmental law firm that is busting its chops trying to stop the Bush administration from destroying all that is healthy and beautiful on this earth of ours.
But that, in fact, is beside the point. This eclectic compilation stands on its own. (It could as well have been called "Biological Diversity" as "Where We Live.") The loose theme--save the earth--save ourselves, is carried through the performances by Norah Jones (a song called "Peace" that is not on her first CD), Bob Dylan ("Watching the River Flow"), Willie Nelson ("Living in the Promiseland"), Los Lobos ("What's Going On"), Mose Allison, Ruben Blades, Maria Muldaur and Bonnie Raitt, Tina Turner and Robert Cray, John Hammond and Tom Waits, Sweet Honey in the Rock, The Neville Brothers--I mean, what's not to like here?
Politics aside, this is a great collection.
