Influences American Roots Music


Sounds Like "There is a type of singer-songwriter who specializes in odes to the dark urban underbelly of America. It has its roots in the cross-fertilization between the beats and the folkies dating back to the 1950s, when poets hung with hoboes in trainyards and dropouts hitchhiked lonesome two-lanes.

"Cocaine" by Dave Van Ronk and Bob Dylan's cover of Blind Lemon Jefferson's "See That My Grave I Kept Clean" established the prototype. Tim Hardin, Lou Reed and Tom Waits kept the thread going as the sixties became the seventies.

Frank Morey has been handed the torch and is handling it well." -B.Quick Indie-Music.com

   About FRANK MOREY AND HIS BAND
Singer-songwriter Frank Morey has never been accused of having a sweet, pretty, angelic sort of voice. The Lowell, MA, native is known for a rough, rugged, throaty style of singing, and his voice is perfect for his very earthy, blues-minded folk-rock. Morey's expressive vocals are as gritty as they are soulful.

The New Englander, who plays acoustic guitar and harmonica, brings a variety of influences to the table. He has often been compared to early Tom Waits, and his other influences range from Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen to the late Chicago blues giant Howlin' Wolf. In the northeast part of the United States, Morey has tended to fare well among fans of anti-folk. Morey isn't anti-folk per se - he has a more classic type of sound - but like the anti-folk crowd, he likes his folk-rock with a tough hard edge and a lot of guts.

Morey, whose live performances typically include both covers and original material, has been playing the Massachusetts club scene since the 90's. His first album, Father John's Medicine, was released on the Indigo Hamlet label in 2000 and was followed by the sophomore album, Cold in Hand. In 2002, Morey signed with veteran producer Bob Koester's Chicago-based Delmark label and recorded his third album, the Delmark Sessions. - Alex Henderson, All Music Guide

Frank Morey and the Band's 4th record, MADE IN USA, was released September 2006.

Hey Frank,
Just wanted to drop a line and say thank you for your kindness. You will never be forgotten by us.Sing a song for Shauna next Saturday in New York. I'm sure her spirit will be there. You will be forever in our thoughts and prayers. Wish we could have made it out there to see you. But God had different plans for her. Thank you again. From your unknown friends from Cajun Land.

Mr. Morey! It's been five years of listening to your music... in Mass, Maine, and now California.
Does your tour van ever get this far west?

Mr. Morey, just to let you know....when our monkey gets fussy, I put on your discs and he mellows right out. Also...when he hears Uncle Lefty's Lament he jumps up and down and shakes his head....(I guess it's his version of dancing).
Must have been all those Wednesday Nights in Worcester Massachusetts!! XXOO

Frank, I miss you and Scott so much. I listen to your CDs every Wednesday night, just to feel like I'm there with you, serving Scott his sangria and you, your coke.

Hi Frank,

I saw a tick on a couch today and figured that I should warn you. They are back and asking about you. Don't worry, I told them that you were away disorganizing organs. That should buy you some time. Now run.
