Bob Frank Bob Frank is, unabashedly, a folk singer. While others cloak their musical identity in such euphemisms as “singer/songwriter,” “Americana” or “roots,” Bob represents nothing so much as a continuation of the folk music movement that reached its apogee more than forty years ago -- about the same time Bob started writing and singing songs, songs that told stories, songs that decried injustice. Folk songs. The songs, all in the folk tradition, reflect economic disparity and class struggle, Bob’s observations on religion, patriotism and what might happen when you meet a wine-o in a Laundromat. These are straight up folks songs that show that Bob’s songwriting gifts, melodic sense and homespun vocal chops are still very much intact after all this time.
