Shadow musician Catman Cohen is ready to release his third CD... How I Want to Dream... as the conclusion to his musical trilogy, The Catman Chronicles, following a lengthy absence, in which internet rumors of suicide seemed to suggest his departure was of a permanent nature.
Grammy award winner and producer/arranger James Lum remarked, "When an artist's first CD is entitled, 'How I Want to Die,' I suppose it's only natural that some might imagine Catman Cohen made an early exit from the planet. But I can assure all his fans that the shadow lives and is in fine form."
"We have taken an epic classical format, then melded it into edgy, provocative, and dreamy rock," Lum further elaborated, "Catman Cohen pours his heart and soul into a wide variety of themes... a child's deal with God revealed to be a pact with the Devil... sexual obsession, as expressed in high-testosterone French... a social protest song, doo-wop style... a glorious Latin
choral extolling the virtues that made America great... metaphorical love ballads
of a sublime nature... and the list goes on. Frankly, as somebody who has worked
for many years with a variety of top label artists, I believe that we have produced
an absorbing, passionate, multi-faceted CD that would make any one of them
proud to claim it as their own."
"How I Want to Dream" is slated for a late February '09 release.

Catman Cohen is pleased to announce that a portion of proceeds received from all sales of "How I Want to Dream" will be donated to the charities created by his two good friends, medical activist, Patch Adams, and international nursing activist, Mary Lightfine.

Who is Catman Cohen?
Mysterious and controversial Catman Cohen is the strange, silhouette artist with the raw bullfrog voice. Some critics call him the "musical Loch Ness Musician." Others refer to him as "the songwriting Sasquatch." No pictures, no standard biography, and an adamant refusal to perform live, despite various invitations to do so.
Described as "Rock Opera," his songs are based upon social action, notably a cry for the resurrection of neglected heroes (nurses, firemen, teachers, paramedics, universal peace-keepers, environmentalists, human rights activists, etc) and urgent warnings about the imminent fresh water crisis developing in the nation.
The Catman Chronicles feature a variety of guest vocalists, including Goths, she-males, and breathy, sexy sirens. Some music critics have denounced his "out of the box" approach... yet the Catman perseveres down his chosen path, knowing that there is no turning back from doing what must be done, knowing that we must........
