How do you make a country-rocker even better? Look the part. And it looks like that's what Dan Evans did. His voice and his songwriting were already there. But after losing 136 pounds on last season's The Biggest Loser, Evans was ready to throw himself out there for a record deal, debut single and, now, a video. It's the title track from Evans' album "Goin' All Out," and according to his blog, he is "so pumped to see it" on CMT.com. After his 13-week run on TBL, Evans, 22, headed for Nashville to make the kind of country album he loved. And the result is music that feels strongly influenced by today's brand of mainstream country. Especially this song, about throwing his whole heart in and not taking a ride in the back seat of life. The before-and-after clips from the show give the video some very real imagery to prove that if you try hard enough, there's no obstacle you can't tackle if you're goin' all out.
