About this listen

 Emmy Award-winning actor Jeff Daniels brings his iconic career to life in Alive & Well Enough, a captivating audio-only adventure produced with his son, Ben. In this musical memoir, Daniels charms listeners with his alluring voice and intimate, emotional retelling of his star turns in movies ranging from Terms of Endearment to Dumb and Dumber, his songs and plays written straight from his midwestern soul, and the hopes and dreams that led him from a small town to a career as one of America's best-loved actors. Alive and Well Enough is uniquely structured to take listeners on a delightful and imaginative adventure, flashing forward and backward in time with calculated abandon, reviving some of his most memorable characters, all while stitching together Daniels’ own life story. In Alive and Well Enough, Jeff Daniels, whose body of work spans genres and generations, returns to what he knows best: his stories, songs, and guitar.©2023 Alive & Well Enough, Inc.

    Welcome to my Audio Adventure where I get to be an actor, a playwright, a songwriter, and a storyteller. In this opening episode, I play all five parts in a scene from my hit comedy Escabana In Da Moonlight, perform my song “God’s Little Joke,” and take you behind the scenes into my final performance as Atticus Finch in the Broadway production of To Kill A Mockingbird.

    In town for the Toronto Film Festival, a wayward pedestrian screamed at me, which inspired my song “Have a Good Life then Die.” In a speech that will outlive me, I take you on the set of The Newsroom on the day Will McAvoy answered the question “What makes America the greatest country in the world?” “Now You Know You Can” is the song about what that day meant to me.

This was an incredibly entertaining listen, delivered superbly well. The songs and the skits interwoven with the stories and seamlessly edited, made this feel unusual and fresh. Many times, I found myself laughing out loud. I almost hope Mr Daniels continues to find The End to be just out of reach, so that we get to enjoy more of the same.

Admittedly, I'm perhaps biased as I'm a huge Jeff Daniels fan but this is tremendous. I've been waiting for an autobiography of sorts from Jeff and this is excellent. Skits, tremendous storytelling and virtuosic musical talents combine to make this very compelling, interesting and funny listening.

He's just the best

This fella....., pure talent, firstly i'm a big fan of everyhing he's been involved in since late 70's, & could not wait for the date (thank you Amazon Audibile).
Surpassed all expectation's, song's i hadn't heard, & i have all Jeff's cd's, i love "to much play in his wheel" not heard it before, so that & untold stories are why i'm here. To the most versatile actor i've seen, thank you Jeff, i'm in central England so my dream to see Jeff on Broadway will never be, cannot wait to listen to the other episode's. & yeah Jeff i wanna laugh like the 1st episode.....get more series done & the Acting out on screen. ENCORE

I been waiting for this one

I've been a long time fan for many years, with his music being my most listened to every year for the past 5 years at least. To get a peek into his craft and stories from his life is such a wonderful experience, and if you've consumed any of Daniels' media you will know: man can weave a story.
