FRANK FROST HARPIN ON IT
THE COMPLETE JEWEL RECORDINGS
Audio CD June 26, 2002
Label: Westside UK
Format:Flac
These recordings, from 1966,feature Frost on vocals, harmonica, and guitar. The rest of the band is Arthur Williams-harmonica (who takes most of the harp solos, in the same vein as Frost),Chip Young-bass, and Frost's old friend and musical partner (from the Jelly Roll Kings),Sam Carr-drums. These tracks were produced by the great Scotty Moore,of Sun Records fame. All these sides are short and to the point. There's no room for long solos or grandstanding of any kind. The music starts and away we go for three minutes or less. Carr's drumming is the foundation here-his no-frills, straight ahead style keeps the music moving along, no matter if it's a shuffle or slow blues. As usual with Frost's albums, there are several instrumentals, which give this set some added depth. Usually heard on harmonica, Frost plays a pretty fair guitar (listen to the great Eddie Boyd's "Five Long Years"),a slow blues with great atmosphere. Equally great, though in a shuffle mode,is "Ride With Your Daddy Tonight",
