Records.\u00a0 While a number of early Jesus Music bands were trying to emulate the country rock sounds of The Eagles, none did it as masterfully as Daniel Amos.\u00a0 In fact, they were so successful that in 2002 The Encyclopedia of CCM would go on to say, \u201cSong for song, and as a total package, Daniel Amos stands up to any of the albums The Eagles made prior to Hotel California.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This 2011 Born Twice Records release 35th Anniversary Edition is a Deluxe 2 CD remastered reissue of DA&#8217;s first self titled album plus new liner notes, rare photos and never-before-heard recordings from the DA archives.
