Mike Wollman at Core Radio 90.3 (Rutgers College Radio) -"As a DJ on a college radio station, I get to play a lot of new music from groups and singer-songwriters, and Frank's music ranks up there with the best. I only wish he was making this music 30 years ago when people were more open to "good" music and not what passes for music on most commercial radio today. Hopefully Frank's music will find an audience that appreciates his distinct sound, just as I do - And as is often the case with talented musicians, he is even better live. I will keep playing “Truth Be Told” on my show so that others will get a chance to join me in being a fan of Frank's talent.” (Find Mike Wollman at Core Radio 90.3 fm and www.thecore.fm).

In the fall of 2006, Frank booked some studio time with Mike Kohler at Golden Bug Recording in NYC's east village, and started to record some of his new songs. It was obvious from the first take that it was going to be a smooth process. "Working with Mike was a breeze...he has exactly the right temperament & atmosphere to get a good take from his musicians. I was really after an organic kind of feel...I think my songs are simple, and I hope that people can hear the beauty in that simplicity."
The finishing touches were put on when the great Gerald Menke came into the studio and played all of the pedal steel and Dobro that is on the CD. Frank was immediately impressed by Gerald. "I didn't tell Gerald what to do at all...he just came into the studio, and in just 2 hours, he played exactly what I had been hearing in my head for about 2 years...he blew my mind!"
Frank's decision to record these new original songs was quickly validated when he received news that the song "The Starer" was going to be used in the short film "Trio"-written by & starring Jennifer Bogush. The film was directed by Danny Aiello III, and will be out sometime in 2008. Watch closely, you might see Frank in the movie too!
The end result of all of this- is Frank's Debut Independent Release "Truth Be Told"...which was released on July 27th, 2007 to a crowd of over 100 people at New York City's Ace of Clubs. Check out songs from the album on this page as well as on iTunes, and we hope to see you at a show soon!
