Album Notes

"One of the nation's greatest songwriters." - Ron Wynn, Nashville City Paper. "Bob Frank's songs are the proscenium between the personal and the universal... It's been three decades since Bob Frank's first album, the obscure LP on Vanguard... This collection (Keep on Burning) mixes older material with the new, and there's no distinction...

Wish I had been listening 30 years ago for Bob's famous Vantage recording. Maybe it will re-release on CD in our lifetime? KEEP ON BURNING is solid story-telling with the right instrumental company. Enjoyed every song, especially WITH SABERS IN OUR HANDS.
