The
Album:
DAVID BUSKIN, ROB CARLSON and GEORGE
WURZBACH, a trio of celebrated
singers/songwriters who never met a
punch line they didn't like, have joined
together to articulate their unique
point-of-view, push the envelope of
contemporary songwriting and "make
a couple two-three dollars without
breaking a sweat." Unfettered by
hidebound strictures of
"taste" and
"maturity," these artistes are
fast redefining something-or-other that
used to be defined differently. Be
delighted as MODERN MAN deftly
interweaves themes ranging from God to
Godzilla, from ESPN to the FBI, with a
vocal blend that has not been heard
since Lenin, Trotsky, Stalin & Young
went their separate ways.
The
Artists:
MODERN MAN is a trio of the celebrated
singers/songwriters DAVID BUSKIN, ROB
CARLSON and GEORGE WURZBACH. David
Buskin has written songs for Judy
Collins, Tom Rush, Tom Paxton, Peter,
Paul & Mary, Roberta Flack
and Johnny
Mathis. But it is in the world of
jingles that David Buskin has truly made
his mark. His jingle hits for JC Penny,
Jif, Goodyear, The US Postal Service,
Burger King, Continental Airlines, NBC,
Kitchen Aid, Buick, Stouffers and
Liberty Mutual Insurance have filled the
airways for years. Rob Carlson is a
singer, songwriter, comedian and
producer. In 1973 Rob Carlson teamed
with John Galimor and was signed to
Polydor Records. In 1975 they released
the critical and commercial success,
Peaceable Kingdom. Rob Carlson's song
parodies are heard all over the country
on ABC Network Radio and the American
Comedy Network, a radio comedy
syndicator. George Wurzbach has worked
the past 15 years as a sideman and
session player for a cavalcade of
artists such as Johnny
Cash, Kathy Mattea and Mel
Torme. George Wurzbach's
performance at the 1995 Kerrville Folk
Festival earned him the New Folk Award.
Together this trio of
singers/songwriters will draw their
listeners into these witty, probing and
hysterical songs that affect us all.
