The title track æAmerican LullabyÆ, a moving account of AmericaÆs original sins and 400 year love affair with guns; æHalfway Normal WorldÆ, a poignant yearning for release from perpetual lockdown; The Russians Are Coming!Æ, a 100% factual narrative based on the æSenate Intelligence Committee Report on Russian Interference in the 2016 U.S. ElectionÆ; æWelcome to Stupid TownÆ and æOn a SummerÆs NightÆ. The album also offers up æJust Another Birthday SongÆ, FriedmanÆs hilarious contender to replace the ubiquitous æHappy BirthdayÆ song, written 125 years ago by the Hill sisters. ôThe new album, æAmerican LullabyÆ,ö Friedman explains, ôreflects my personal take on all the crazy stuff thatÆs been happening, in America and around the world for the last six years. Like all lullabies, itÆs filled with tales of dark deeds and disaster, but couched in soft, gentle tones, meant to soothe and comfort the listener, while gently bracing them for the potential terrors that await.ö
