About This:

Bob Franke's eighth album is a diverse collection of songs about loss, love, courage, compassion, and the Acid Polka. It features pioneering folk-rock drummer Dave Mattacks (Fairport Convention, Richard Thompson, Mary Chapin Carpenter); master guitarist Duke Levine (Carol Noonan, Mary Chapin Carpenter); bassist Paul Bryan (Aimee Mann); and stellar vocalists Julie Dougherty and Ellen Groves. Franke's songs have been recorded and sung by June Tabor, John McCutcheon, Kim and Reggie Harris, and many other fine artists.
