   About FDR







The New Deal was born in the fall of 2005 when I began the daunting adventure of digging myself out of a creative rut by simultaneously writing and recording 50 songs in 50 days - one song a day (I drove everyone in my life crazy). From my bedroom apartment on Avenue C - overlooking the FDR drive, the east river and the lighted city skyline - I completed a new song each night between October 14th and Dec. 6th (with a few days off). Often recording until dawn, I played all the instruments - drums, bass, guitars, piano, and organ. Any harmonies and other vocals you hear are also just mine. Of the resulting 50 self-produced songs, 32 will be available in the spring of 2006 as a three-disc set entitled The New Deal. If you play it loud you'll hear the ambulances, buses and traffic roaring by on the FDR drive.

- FDR, Dec 17th 2005, NYC

I still like your music. Yeah, even I'm surprised - usually I get sick of the music I love really quick. You should be flattered. I am a music snob. Here's to you and Furry Lewis and Bob Log III, Tom Waits, and Regina Spektor's wooden spoon. Come to Reno. I'll buy you a PBR.
