Southern Dirt: The Album
Track 3- April to August (see lyrics page for more)
SOUTHERN DIRT is OUT!!
"The songs that make up 'Southern Dirt' echo the styles of folk legend Bob Dylan in addition to American folk and blues guitarists like Woody Guthrie and the hip-hop inflections of Outkast and Snoop Dogg."
-The Red & Black, Athens, GA
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 by Anthony Stubelek @ RockStudio in Brunswick, GA. Photography by Mary Doll<3 & Byron Rosenstein. Design by Kathie Klein.
