“It has a really great beat and the lyrics are just amazing! Let’s face it: Best Day of My Life is only first because it’s the best known.”

7. Bring It on Home (Seasons, 2019)

“American Authors are one of the most unique acts in music today. With 4 guys from 4 corners of the United States coming together with each of their own regional music styles. American Authors is a perfect blend of all American sound.”

6. Pride (What We Live For, 2016)

“A great follow up to their first album. The upbeat sound of the first album is mostly carried forward into their second with the exception of a few introspective pieces. As time moves on the more you listen to this album there is a very good chance that you will enjoy this album and possibly feel that it could be better than their debut from a musical perspective. However, you can be your own judge.”
