Free Range Donut (2005)
Unlike Greetings from the Middle of Nowhere with its multi-layered instrumentation and numerous guest musicians, Free Range Donut features only Joel's voice and guitar. An honest and compelling lo-fi album that forsakes studio trickery. No donuts were harmed in the making of this album. Recorded by Brett D. Cline (aka Young Frying Rabbit). |
