Pholksinger Josh
Southern Dirt
© 2007 Joshua Rosenstein, Gabriel Klein-Kuhn (837101433730)
CD IN STOCK. ORDER NOW. Will ship immediately.
The overall sound of the record is definitively "gangsta folk" rooted in folk, country, blues, hip-hop and spoken-word poetry. Don't be surprised to find talkin' blues, poetry, political songs, love songs, and rampant harmonica/kazoo solos.

notes
Pholksinger Josh's debut full-length record is a-hootin' and a-hollerin' and a-vailable now! Recorded in the summer of 2007 at Ragamuffin Music in Roswell, GA, "Southern Dirt" marks a coming-of-age for the 19 year-old singer-songwriter. Josh's songs come directly from the world he sees around him: school, war, religion, curfew, love (lost and found), leaving home, weather and so on. The overall sound of the record is definitively "Gangsta Folk" rooted in folk, country, blues, hip-hop and spoken-word poetry. Gabe Klein-Kuhn (aka Young Lion) contributes greatly to the album, adding drums, vocals and even co-writing a song, in addition to engineering and producing. Mark Brueker also added his engineering talents to the record. Mastering was done by Anthony Stubelek and Jack Terrell at RockStudio in Brunswick, GA.
