Following his move to Dallas in 1987, Friedman began recording and performing as a solo artist in earnest. He also recorded and performed extensively with [[Sara Hickman]], and produced Dallas' ''KERA 90.1 Sound Sessions''. Billed as "Josh Alan," he barnstormed the state of Texas for 20 years, rocking whole arenas with his Guild D-40 and earning three ''Dallas Observer'' Music Awards for Best Acoustic Act. He was noted for his live use of acoustic feedback, the Maestro Echoplex and surf instrumentals, as well as an acoustic medley of Black exploitation movie soundtracks. He has released four albums: ''Famous & Poor'', ''The Worst!'' (a musical based on the life and career of "Worst Director of All Time" [[Ed Wood]]), ''Blacks 'n' Jews'' (the title of which was also used for a documentary on Friedman's life) and ''Josh Alan Band''. |
