Students who purchased Paul's Rockabilly Guitar DVD have been begging us for another lesson from this gifted musician and teacher.
Here's the first recordings by The Blasters. This pressing is a re-issue with 6 bonus tracks. A special place in my heart is reserved for "Crazy Baby" because an old girlfriend of mine who had the words "Crazy Baby" tatoo-ed on her breast.
Same band, different producer: this time it was Elvis Presley's legendary guitarist, Scotty Moore, behind the glass as Frost and his pals dished out the lowdown sounds during the mid-'60s for Stan Lewis's Jewel logo. "My Back Scratcher" owes a stylistic debt to Slim Harpo but feels mighty good all the same. The entire 13-song disc reeks of steamy juke-joint ambience.
Frost is front-and-center with a program that's decidedly downhome. This is what modern Mississippi blues sounds like — tough, uncompromising, still rooted mainly in the 1950s with a few modern touches."Make it funky! For down-home blues fans it doesn't get much better than this. Vocalist/harp player Frost… comes on with the raw basics, accompanied by two different groups featuring his superb guitarist Big Jack Johnson. Well-balanced mix of covers and originals is rough and real, and will kick the butt of any died-in-the-wool blues nut.""Frank Frost is a country bluesman to the bone. the Sun Records veteran is in typically relaxed and inspired form on this session, where he's frequently supported by Jonnson and drummer Sam Carr's infectious backbeat. Slim Harpo's ghost looms large here, but if Frost proves one thing on this record, it's that he's clearly his own man. Listen to his outragous cover of Mustang Sally if you doubt it."
