'12 Songs' [CD] ORDER CD - DOWNLOAD ALBUM Dean's first new album in 7 years! Twelve brand new, original songs, filled with the consumate lyrical and musical brilliance, poignancy, revealing insight, wry humor and sheer artistry that listeners have come to expect from this master songsmith/recording-artist. It's another eclectic Dean Friedman album, an amalgam of styles including jazz, pop, rock, folk and country. Its themes include songs of love, frustration, success and failure; songs about missing home, the terrors and joys of raising kids, dissertations on the physics of time and space, randomness and causality; there's a song dedicated to Malala Yousafzai, the brave defender of all girls' right to an education; a song about Dean's old Martin D-35 acoustic guitar; a misanthrope's duet; and there's a song about ducks - a true story of the 'Easter Rising' - a failed 1916 uprising in Ireland. This is a 'must have' for any dedicated fan of Dean Friedman's music! Songs: Your Pretty Face - The Hummingbird Effect - Time Flies - I Could Fall for You - The Kite Song - Then You - The Ducks of St Stephen’s Green - Loose Ends - Something Right - Your Friend Janet - This Guitar - Malala Credits: written, arranged & produced by Dean Friedman; Dean Friedman vocals, guitars, keyboards, dobro, Mandolin; Sam Friedman harmonica; Lisa Gutkin fiddle; Ira Feddemann bass, accordian; Alicia Delgado vocals; Hannah Friedman vocals; engineered by Dean Friedman, Sam Friedman & Hannah Friedman; recorded spring 2017 at the Honking Goose Studios, Peekskill, NY, USA
