BIO

Abel Josephson...! Six foot five and all Texan! Born and raised on the high plains of the Texas panhandle in Amarillo Texas.

Abel, a singer songwriter, gravitated to central Texas hill country where he bathed his soul in the live music scene of Austin Texas.

It was there, in Austin, where he soaked up songwriting skills and live shows as fast as he could find them!

Now based in Los Angeles California, he has polished off his new release on Rock Room Records called "Helicopters Over Hollywood".

"Helicopters Over Hollywood" is a hard driving, soft spoken collection of songs geared to explain the journey from the golden spread of the Texas panhandle to the bright lights, leather pants and pitfalls awaiting anyone willing to journey from the cotton fields to the famous Sunset Strip in Hollywood!

Fans of 38 Special, John Mellencamp and Gram Parsons, should climb on board and ride these songs down the road!

REVIEWS

Loaded with "Boom-Twang"
author: James Hurley
This is a damn good sounding record. It's loaded with that "boom-twang" that I immediately associate with Texas. I can't say exactly why that is either...'cause it certainly doesn't remind me of any particular artist. The standout tracks for me were; "Top Ten"...From the very first measure I was fascinated..the groove, the tones, the vocal, everything combines to create a dark, mysterious, landscape in which the listener is waiting to hear the next line....very cool. "Beautiful Heart" - Here's that anthemic boom-twang I mentioned. I'm a sucker for this kind of story song. And of course "Weeping Willow" - There really isn't much to say about this song that it doesn't say for itself. I've wondered how you would approach production on this one and I was very, very pleased that you decided to let this wonderful song breathe. Just enough to create the ambience...without overstating anything...very tasteful.... :^)
