I'm just as befuddled and confused and incredulous as everyone else about what's been happening, so I wrote these songs, and recorded this album, to try and make some kind of sense of it all. Like all lullabies, it’s 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. And I promise it's not all gloom and doom. I'm insistent on hope, laughter and joy, and the album is filled with plenty of humor and an ample does of silliness to help keep a healthy perspective on where we are and what may lie ahead.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dean Friedman Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40083479527608,"sku":"RLRCD012","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0586\/0707\/5512\/products\/AmericanLullaby-DeanFriedman-Cover-1000x1000-01.jpg?v=1626640443"},{"product_id":"12-songs-cd","title":"'12 Songs' [CD]","description":"\u003cp class=\"auto-style5\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e'12 Songs'\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"auto-style7\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e [CD]\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"auto-style10\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDean's first new album in 7 years!
