Darlin' Brando Has Delivered The Goods With Awesome Debut Album "Also, Too…"



Darlin' Brando Delivers The Honky Tonk With A Country Steeped, Dancehall-Ready Album!!

“Good Lord, this is the Country I’ve loved since I heard “Good Ol Boys” on Saturday night tele as a little lad when it was the theme to The Dukes Of Hazzard, but it's not country as you know it… Oh and just to make this even better, the gorgeous harmony vocals here? They are Brando’s new wife, Edith Freni.” — Maximum Volume Music

“The debut album of musical journeyman Darlin’ Brando (aka Brandon Goldstein) is chock full of danceable, Honky-Tonk Country. Combining his Folk singer voice with pure Country rhythms, Brando pays homage to fighting lovers, beer drinkers, wild women, haunting memories and family.” — Turnstyled Junkpiled

“Goldstein with the songwriting help of his wife (and his mom and niece on one song), manages to fuse Folk influenced lyrics with his upbeat Honky Tonk and Country and Western melodies to create a record that not only honors the sounds of the past but reinvents them for a 21st century audience. All in all, Also,Too… is one of the best debut albums of 2020 so far.” — Americana Highways
