Kalhöun is the ninth album by Christian alternative rock band Daniel Amos, released on BAI Records in 1991. It was issued under their contracted moniker and was their first album of studio material in four years.

Background

Following the release of 1987's Darn Floor-Big Bite, Daniel Amos took a hiatus of several years as band members worked on other projects, such as The Swirling Eddies.

Kalhöun was released during a special release party that was thrown for fans and held at Cornerstone '91 by Stunt Records. Lead singer and songwriter Terry Taylor was at the party to autograph CDs for the fans that attended. Stunt Records' Tom Gulotta held a special auction of D.A. memorabilia - including early artwork for Taylor's solo album, Knowledge & Innocence, a promotional copy of The Swirling Eddies video "I've Got An Idea" and Arthur Fhardy's flowery shirt, which was torn off him during a rowdy performance by the Eddies at Cornerstone '90.

"If You Want To," was later rerecorded by Taylor's other band, the Lost Dogs for their 2004 album MUTT.
