I'm a fan (and you should be too) because...this band is amazing. I followed Chris since he was on american idol(and voted for him,too). I found and bought his cd from his North Carolina band Absent Element and I also have his Daughtry cd. Two different sounds from one talented man. The band is so down to earth. To keep in touch with their fans and still be making it big. What more could you ask for in a band. Hope you guys stay that way. Best of luck and can't wait till the next album.
