Sad Man Happy Man [CD], Mike Doughty, CD

2009 album from the former Soul Coughing frontman. Genius lyricist, musician, songwriter, poet, playwright, photographer, columnist, blogger, and true multi-media artist Doughty has given into the pressure he has felt for years from fans to record an acoustic album again. Sad Man Happy Man isn't entirely acoustic -- Doughty's experimentation with drum machines and Ableton software adds a larger dynamic to Mike's acoustic efforts along with cello player Andrew Scrap Livingston. For the track 'Doubly Gratified', Doughty went back to an old friend, Soul Coughing producer David Kahne. Sad Man Happy Man is the follow up to 2008's Golden Delicious.
