Can't Talk Now

Mastered by Greg Calbi (Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, Ramones, etc) Cover art by Storm Thorgerson (Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Peter Gabriel, etc) [Guitar Player Magazine, June 2013] 'The bouncy, palm-muted clean tones that kick off the opener, "Melancholy Melody," draw you right in and Friedman's catchy vocal lines keep you there, setting the stage for the power pop that follows. Great guitar moments abound, including rolling fingerpicking, Abbey Road-esque single-note lines, celestial capoing, and "Wicked Game"-style dreaminess' [Pittsburgh Tribune] ???? ''?Can't Talk Now'...is an absolute delight and shows Friedman to be one of the most talented and versatile musicians that you've probably never heard of...Do yourself a favor and seek out a copy...You won't regret it.' [babysue.com] Top Pick '..one big intelligent slice of modern pop with superb lyrics, great gliding melodies...' [ink9.com] 'Butt-kicking pop music with rockin' guitars, rousing anthems, and heart-touching romance...Listen to this collection and you will know it's time to fall in love again.' [San Diego Troubadour] 'Radio ready, this is a superb album that deserves a wider hearing - and looks great...music fans, you need this.' [Frontiers LA] ???? 'I'm drawn repeatedly to Friedman's direct, accessible songs' [Cleveland Scene] 'The opening tune...is every bit as infectious as anything by Weezer...' [Campus Circle] '...sweet power pop...' [Biloxi Sun Herald] '...an ultra-melodic power-pop package...' [starpulse.com] '...an album sated with incandescent indie pop rock...'
