5.0 out of 5 stars Who is This Guy, June 4, 2009

I was sitting in a restaurant in Red Hook Brooklyn and this CD came on. I wasn't sure if it was Steve Earle,so I asked the owner" Who is this Guy"?
I thought the sound was interesting both the play on words and the style of music. The owner said it was Andy Friedman. I sat and listened and I was really impressed. I got home and ordered this CD and I listened to it for quite a while. My favorite is Freddy's Backroom, doesn't everybody have or wish they had a bar in there neighborhood like Freddy's? Listening to him sing about the place he's been (The Land of the Sinclair Gas Station signs)etc etc. I could analyze this album,and go on and on. But what I can say is this Guy has a terrific style. I will buy the rest of his CD's and even go see him live.

Friedman's band seems to change every CD but far and away this is the best group he ever assembled. They transform the ages, sometimes sounding like an authentic western band banging around in a saloon. Other times hitting musical highs like the most talented jam bands (without the annoying noodling). They have a very, very, very, very tight ryhthm section that is very dangerous when you are listening to this in your car. Before you know it, you are going 80 miles per hour - if you're not careful. Just a fun CD. I hope Andy gets these boys together for a reunion.

I truly love this new CD by Andy Friedman and the Other Failures. It was hard for me to imagine anything as spectacular and moving as their first CD. "Taken Man" and yet, they've done it!
Listen not only to the music, but pay attention to the poetry of the lyrics. Friedman clearly has wonderful stories to share and personal emotions to offer up. The music is that perfect support for what is being expressed in each song. It's an experience worth your time. Buy it now, listen to it at once and enjoy it time and again. (You'll get more out of it with each listen.)
