(Blues, Acoustic Blues) Josh Alan - Sixty, Goddammit - 2016, MP3, 320 kbps

In 1987, writer-guitarist Josh Alan Friedman sold his soul to the devil at the crossroads (the Crossroads of the World--Broadway & 42nd Street) and moved to Texas. He’d just written TALES OF TIMES SQUARE, a cult classic. An Expanded Edition with new chapters was recently released, while the still-unfinished movie of Tales has played 35 film festivals.
Josh’s forthcoming book is BLACK CRACKER, the story of his tumultuous childhood as the only white boy at Long Island's last segregated school. It will be released in hard- and softcover soon from Wyatt Doyle Books in 2010. In 2008: TELL THE TRUTH UNTIL THEY BLEED: Coming Clean in the Dirty World of Blues and Rock 'n' Roll. Before that: WHEN SEX WAS DIRTY; I, GOLDSTEIN: My Screwed Life (with Al Goldstein); NOW DIG THIS: The Unspeakable Writings of Terry Southern (co-editor).
Josh also set off satirical fires and lawsuits as writer-half of the Friedman Bros, the most feared cartooning duo of the late '70s and '80s. Two anthologies remain in print, featuring the art of Josh's brother, Drew Friedman: WARTS AND ALL, and ANY SIMILARITY TO PERSONS LIVING OR DEAD IS PURELY COINCIDENTAL.
On the music front, as “Josh Alan,” he barnstormed the state of Texas for 20 years, rocking whole arenas with his Guild D-40. Copping three Dallas Observer Music Awards for Best Acoustic Act, he released four albums: FAMOUS & POOR, THE WORST!, BLACKS 'n' JEWS (the title of which became a documentary on Josh’s life) and JOSH ALAN BAND.

Album Notes
Atomic acoustic blues-funk-rock. Josh Alan’s first album in 15 years. Can you dig it? Not since 2001’s Josh Alan Band (with “Strike A Match”). And before that, Blacks ’n’ Jews (1997) and the Ed Wood musical The Worst! (1994) and Famous & Poor (1991). And books like Tales of Times Square, Black Cracker and Warts And All.
SIXTY, GODDAMMIT? Ya damn right.
