Texas Country from the dirt up. Dan's country sound is fun, and straightforward. "TRUTH IS" - His first CD on Audio 11 Records, contains everything from an up beat song about a lost love with a fondness for footwear (She Likes Shoes) to the true story of his parent’s marriage (40 Years). The project was a year in the making and worth every moment. As Dan states... “ we were blessed to get some tremendous talent to help us on the record." Tremendous talent is no exaggeration. Some of the players on the record include Texas steel guitar and dobro legend-Lloyd Maines, Ace In The Hole Band's fiddle virtuoso-Gene Elders, two time Grammy winner-Floyd Domino on keys and renowned producer-Ernie Wells Raised in Lubbock, TX, Dan was exposed to the music of many local favorites. The Maines Brothers Band, Terry Allen, Buddy Holly, Roy Orbison, Joe Ely, Waylon Jennings, and Mac Davis to name a few. Just as most typical teen’s worship rock and roll, Dan was no exception. Bands such as Van Halen fast became Crump’s musical passion until his first few years at Texas Tech University. While working at a guitar shop and attending college, Dan befriended another songwriter named Pat Green. “Pat turned me on to guys like Robert Earl Keen, Chris Wall, and Jerry Jeff Walker…. who knew that he would someday be selling out stadiums himself! I really enjoy almost all styles of music, but it wasn’t until later that I discovered how much I truly love the Texas singer-songwriter thing…” claims Dan. “I think the song writer has been in me all along – no matter how hard I try to shake it!” Dan jokes. "Figure out what that one thing is and go for it.... The tough part for most people is figuring out what their one thing is."
