New David Bromberg

David Bromberg, whose song "Sharon" (iTunes) was sampled by the Beastie Boys for the main loop in "Johnny Ryall" (iTunes) is releasing his first album in 17 years. Try Me One More Time, an acoustic collection of one Bromberg original and 15 covers, is out today on Appleseed Records.

Martin Guitars recently issued a David Bromberg model guitar patterned after one of his favorite guitars and they sold out the entire run. (The model had a list price of $5,600). "I started to wonder, 'when did I become cool?' I still don't think I'm there yet."

Sound samples available at CD Baby.
