Album Notes

A note from Frank:
I have a new CD, it’s called “The Del Ray Sessions” and I hope you’ll really like it. It’s what I call “Alternative-Country” with a pop sensibility. The songs came from a musical that I’ve been writing off and on for the last four years. I started with 19 songs and there are 13 of them here. I like the way these work together on this CD. . .I’d be curious to hear what you think.


Recording a CD while raising a family and working full time in the field of video is a daunting task. That’s why I did this CD in small sections. I would lay down 3 or 4 tracks at at time with Rocky on Drums and Carolyn on vocals. Slowly but surely, over the course of two and half years I reached my goal of finishing the CD. I was lucky to have the constant support of Rocky Sabini on Drums, Carolyn Milligan’s exquisite voice, and friends like Chico Welch, Heather Moran, Scott Brewer, Mark Braun, and Bruce Meyer to lay down tracks. Adrian Dinu did an incredible job as an engineer, co-producer, and harmony singer. His good work and energy was key to getting this done.


The listener will notice that I don’t sing lead on all of the tracks, I share that duty with Carolyn Milligan and Heather Moran. As a musical, there will be different voices singing these songs, so the female vocals are going to represent one or more of the female leads. At his point in my life, I like the idea of others performing my music. I’m having some luck with that now with my first musical Lust’n Rust which is published by Samuel French. My wife Elaine and I just went to Connecticut to see the latest performance of it, and it’s really a kick to see others perform something you wrote in your living room.


Well that‘s it in a nutshell. I hope you like it. Let me know what you think. The CD is only available on CD baby.com. Thanks, enjoy listening!
