The American Songbook: Redacted

Description

10½ New, Original Comedy Songs The Delve Into the Nether Regions of America’s Soul!

While lots of artists perform songs from the “Great” American Songbook, this album takes away the “great” and finds itself in strange territory. There’s a heavy metal song about the Satanic Panic, a disco song about fears of a “masculinity crisis,” a jazz song about how much Henry Ford hated jazz (and blamed its popularity on a Jewish conspiracy), and much more.

Pulling from 200 years of musical styles and American history, AS:R satirizes our cultural beliefs and myths, adding perspective to our world today. The album is 11 tracks, fully arranged and comes in a gatefold jacket, numbered, only 100 pressed. Digital download code included!
