Milkman is an album by the folk singer-songwriter Phranc, released in 1998. It was her first album in seven years; she had spent several years putting on her Neil Diamond tribute act, Hot August Phranc.
The album was nominated for a GLAAD Media Award, in the "Outstanding Music - Album" category.
Production
"Gary" is a song about Phranc's brother, who was murdered in 1991. "Ozzie and Harriet" tells of a one-on-one faltering relationship. "Tzena, Tzena" is sung in Yiddish.
The album title references Phranc's fondness for regularly wearing a milkman's uniform.
Critical reception
The Los Angeles Times wrote that "with its minimalist, sincere folk-pop tunes, Phranc’s first album in seven years integrates the humor and pain in her recent life."
