Customer Reviews

Augustana rocks!!!
Dan Layus has amazing vocals. His harmonies with the band are awesome, music for the ears. This album is definitely worth adding to your collection.

Best sound I've ever heard
I saw these guys in concert Saturday night....opening for Counting Crows and Maroon 5. 2 of the Counting Crows were on paternity leave, so Augustana filled in for almost the entire set.

I had seen them 2 years ago, again opening for Counting Crows (and Goo Goo Dolls). I knew these guys could sing and play their instruments. But seeing them alongside seasoned veterans of the industry, not only holding their own, but also teaching them some new tricks.

After Saturday night, I will bow down to them. Their improvement has been nothing short of incredible. Their harmonies make me want to shout to all those who follow to pay attention to how music is supposed to sound. It was one of those concert experiences where you just sit there and say, wow, these guys are really really good. I hope they go far.

I would almost like to see Dan L. and Adam D. hook up on more projects.

tuneful classic rock
Augustana don't exactly break new ground with "Can't Love, Can't Hurt," but that's not a bad thing by any stretch. I was not familiar with the band before this record, but upon hearing "Sweet and Low" I took a chance and purchased the CD, and I was not disappointed. The songs are tight, melodic, and filled with memorable hooks. The singing and musicianship are first-rate. It's early to say for sure, but Augustana show signs that they could become a classic mainstream American rock band, a la Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Augustana is proof that you don't have to be all emotionally tortured and lyrically obscure to make great music, despite what most music critics seem to think. To quote a line from Roz Doyle on the old "Frasier" sitcom: "Excuse me? For your information, classic rock is both classic and it rocks!" Nuff said. Buy this record.
