Marty Friedman To Release New Album ‘Tokyo Jukebox 3’

Marty Friedman will release his new studio album ‘Tokyo Jukebox 3’ via The Players Club / Mascot Label Group on April 16th 2021.

The record is the third in a series that began with Tokyo Jukebox in 2009, and then Tokyo Jukebox 2 following in 2011.  The trilogy presents Friedman’s inspired performances to Japanese repertoire he’s chosen to cover.

He shares ”I’ve been playing stuff from the first two ‘Jukebox’ albums Live all over the world, and it’s taken on a life of its own.  Especially in places like North and South America, Australia, Italy, France and even India.  My fan base is very dedicated and what I have found is that lots of new fans have been introduced to Japanese music and culture through me, which is very gratifying. On the tours it seems like aside from the dedicated Guitar fans, the Japan fanatics have been noticeably growing, so now felt like the right time to do ‘Tokyo Jukebox 3’.”

The recording process started in January, 2020 and the mixing was handled by Jens Bogren at his own Fascination Studios in Sweden. It also took place at Power House Studios in Tokyo, with Friedman, who was also the producer on the project, joined by bassist Kiyoshi and drummer Anup Sastry.
