Alan Friedman, CPA and Partner of Friedman, Kannenberg & Company, PC, has just released his first solo CD, “The
Test of Time”, on his new record label, AlHomeBoy Music, LLC. His album marks the first of many other music CDs that will
be released for musician artist clients and friends of our firm. The record label was started to help promote the music and
business careers of many talented musicians who otherwise wouldn’t be heard.
“The Test of Time” consists of 13 “pop rock” tunes, featuring Alan on guitar and a cast of characters on a variety of other
instruments, including friends Bobby Kimball (lead singer of “Toto”), Bernard Fowler (background vocalist for
“The Rolling Stones”), Jonathan Mover (drummer for “Joe Satriani”, “Fuel”, “Aretha Franklin”, “Alice Cooper” and many more),
bassist Doug Wimbish, drummer Will Calhoun, vocalist Corey Glover (all members of “Living Colour”), Jeff Pevar (guitarist for
“David Crosby”, “Graham Nash”, “Joe Cocker” and “Jackson Browne” to name a few), Vince DiCola (keyboardist for “Hughes-Turner
Project” and “Thread”, and film score composer of “Rocky 4”, “Transformers” and others), David Stoltz (bassist for “The
Dickey Betts Band”), Ron Bienstock (bassist and music entertainment attorney extraordinaire), Jen Lowe (percussionist for
the rock band “Acres”), Sally Eckels (lead singer of L.A. rock band “Paper Sun”), Rob Gottfried (aka “Rob The Drummer” and
high profile TV kid’s character) and many other talented musicians. One surprising highlight of the CD is vocalist and
friend Robbie LaBlanc, who sings 4 of the CD’s 13 tracks. Robbie is a wine rep for a major Californian vineyard; and like
a fine wine, Robbie’s vocals keep getting better with age (truly the hidden treasure on this CD).
Alan wrote all the lyrics and music, and co-wrote a few songs with close friend and keyboard player Jeff Batter, and one
tune with friend and fellow bandmate, Mark Zampino, keyboard player for The Accounting Crows.
