OK - this review is a bit biased since Dan is a friend of mine...! ;-)
But take my word "Little Fish" is a great independent album with heart, soul and some sweat!
At times you can hear that Dan is a fan of Tom Waits when you hear him singing in a rough voice how work sucks and his woman cooks him chicken for dinner... :-)

So don't hesitate - buy this CD and enjoy the songs! 
My personal favorite: 'When The World Gave Up On You'

Saw/listened to Dan Gober at John & Peter's in New Hope recently...dressed like Santa with huge white wings, he belts out a raunchy, soulful sound in a style all his own...getting into the nooks and crevices of relationship joys and sorrows. "Cool You Down" is one of my favorites.  Bought one Little Fish CD for me and two more as gifts.  Can't wait to see another live show!  Awesome!

Dan Gober, a Philadelphia native who now makes his home in the Lehigh Valley, is becoming a familiar face on the local music scene, playing well-received shows at Bethlehem venues such as The Wildflower Cafe and The Funhouse.
His debut disc, ''little fish'' (Lunar Face), is an aural pleasure that mixes rock, blues and folk with Gober's personal style of singing and songwriting — it sounds like an experiment gone right.
Gober's guitar playing has a comfortable, easy feel even when handling tricky slide moves as on ''Quarter After Five.'' His voice can be rough-hewn and raspy. On ''Never Say Nothin','' he sounds like a bitter soul when he sings, ''I got the rock 'n' roll band/And all the people that you see/Yeah they're listening to me/But you never say nothin' nice to me anymore.'' Along with the recrimination, there is also a touch of humor.
On ''Everybody Goes To Sleep Now,'' Gober's voice takes on a Kurt Cobain ''Unplugged'' feel, and ''Portrait of a Lost Man'' has a slow, country twang and introspective lyrics that calls to mind the songwriting and vocalizing of Ryan Adams.
But the material is Gober's own, and in addition to his excellent guitar work, he plays drums, piano, Hammond organ and various percussion instruments, including bottles, sleigh bells and shakers.
Gober calls his style ''junk rock,'' but listening to ''little fish'' feels more like finding a hidden treasure.
