Extraordinary 1st Solo CD, September 2, 2004
This review is from: Of What Lies Beneath (Audio CD)
I knew this CD would be really good, but I wasn't prepared for it to be this great. Dyer has a uniquely recognizable voice missing from today's pop artists. This CD contains a variety of sounds, rhythms, and melodies sure to entrall any music lover. 'Stereophonic' is a fun, catchy tune that makes you want to dance. I'm still singing the chorus in my head. 'Space Alien' is a beautifully haunting songs that carries you off. 'What Lies Beneath', one of the best songs on the CD, features Dyer's talented vocals, as well as, songwriting skills. It's a soul & rhythm combo mixed in with great vocals and unforgettable songs. It's been a long time that I bought a CD and actually liked every song.

Check out his old band Breedlove., May 9, 2005
This review is from: Of What Lies Beneath (Audio CD)
Personally, I think Lenny had too much control of this in the studio because it sounds more like him, and less like Dan, musically anyways. Check out Dan's old band from Austin called Breedlove if you want more Dan and less Lenny. There is much more originality in their music, though they only released one album( "Reach Out").

Compelling music from a great performer., March 13, 2007
This review is from: Of What Lies Beneath (Audio CD)
One night, in Austin Texas, I happened upon the Saxon pub, where the music pulsated loudly onto the parking lot. This was a rocking night, and surely another great band was pumping away inside. I quickly paid my way in.
A guitar playing friend spotted me and began to comment enthusiastically in my ear but I ignored him: the Dan Dyer Band had entered my life.
I cannot find words to describe the impact that first performance had on me. After the show, Dan and I exchanged cd's, and rarely are cd's that you pick up after a great show able to capture the atmosphere where you just came from.
This cd did. I blasted it full volume all the way home.
I went to see Dan on many subsequent occasions, and even on off nights he and the band were simply great.
My original cd got damaged, and I did not hesitate to quickly buy a replacement.
Alas, the Dan Dyer Band has stopped.
Hopefully Dan will kick up a new incarnation?
Get this cd. Get this cd.
