The rabbi is dead
The Rabbi Is Dead is a garage-punk, Jewish, punk rock album by bipolar outsider musician, Steve Lieberman, released right before his diagnosis of bone marrow cancer. It is Lieberman's 19th album, released on 19 July 2011 and the first record on which he included the 6-string guitar. He was 53 years old at the time of release. Lieberman's long-time record label,New York Jewish indie label JDub Records went out of business shortly after the release of The Rabbi Is Dead. The title of the album was not referring to Lieberman's own death as later works did, but the impending demise of The Gangsta Rabbi character, who JDub Records exclusively promoted Lieberman's music without regard to "Steve Lieberman" On May 27, 2012, The Rabbi Is Dead charted at #4 on KZSU-FM, making it Steve Lieberman's best charting album on college radio to date.
