"Dan Who?" is Dan Israel's highly critically acclaimed 2000 solo acoustic album, available now for the first time in years. Jim Walsh, recent author of the oral history of the Replacements, "All Over But the Shouting," gave "Dan Who?" a glowing, 4-star review in the St. Paul Pioneer Press, announcing to the world: "Somebody buy a billboard, hire a blimp, and give this guy his due already. His name is Dan Israel, one of the mad ones, one of the strugglers, and he just made the record of his life." No Depression magazine raved "Damn, what a record!" about "Dan Who?," and added that it was "perhaps the most surprising, and welcome, singer-songwriter find since Tim Easton's Special 20." The Chicago Sun-Times weighed in with still more praise, saying "Israel's raw vocals are soaked in an honesty that comes from years on the road and nights spent in smoke-filled bars."

"Dan Who?" is a must-have for fans of Dan Israel or for anyone who values the intimate, solo acoustic, no-frills approach to showcasing songs of a deeply personal nature. Tom Hallett of Pulse of the Twin Cities declared that "the whole record is absolutely stunning" and Scotland's Zeitgeist E-Zine perhaps summed up "Dan Who?" better than anyone: "Dan deals with the stuff of life, broken relationships, disillusionment, loneliness, grief, joy and salvation. 'Dan Who?' is a work of art which deserves to be heard."
