FRANK DRAKE LIVE AT THE PLOUGH
A while back my pal Bill and I put together a live album culled from
a number of live performance from The Plough & Stars.
Here's a little review - and hey, thanks Steve!:
"This live album is a subtle gem and showcases all of Frank Drake's versatility. The mandolin master swings through a rich tapestry of genres, from the gypsy-flavored 'Mission to Moscow' to the Texas Swing glide of the Bob Wills-identified 'Right or Wrong.' Drake sings with affection for the various standards and originals here. The quality of the performances suggests he's at Carnegie Hall rather than the cozy confines of Cambridge's Plough & Stars. That's a tribute to his sincere musicianship as well as to the ace backup of Boston all-stars such as guitarist Jerry Miller, violinists Matt Glaser and Dan Kellar, and acoustic bassist Johnny Sciascia.''
-- STEVE MORSE, longtime music critic who was at the Boston Globe for 30 years and has contributed to Billboard and Rolling Stone
