During the show, Dan not only lost 136 pounds, he shared with America his childhood dream of being a country music artist. He might not have been the biggest loser, but Dan Evans releases his debut album, <em>Going All Out,<\/em> on September 30. The album is an upbeat collection of catchy pop country songs, wrapping up with a couple of very nice inspirational tunes. The clear theme of the album? Love. Love. Love.  I didn&#8217;t expect such a good album, to be honest. This is more than just a reality show contestant who uses that fame to make an album.
