A vinyl reissue featuring Blues Masters at the Crossroads player Frank Frost

180-gram LP, direct metal mastering

13 astounding performances from the accomplished singer-instrumentalist, plus bonus track!

A mix of Frost's own songs and his take on historic blues themes and licks!

Frank Frost played the first Blues Masters at the Crossroads at Blue Heaven Studios, in 1998. The two-night blues music extravaganza produced by Acoustic Sounds is a magnet for top blues talent. So it's no surprise that Frost isn't the only Blues Masters alum heard on this very cool vinyl reissue.

The music of a tight, working road band backing Frost, The Night Hawks, includes Blues Masters of the past Arthur Williams on harmonica, and Big Jack Johnson on guitar. They're joined by drummer Sam Carr.

Frank Frost was one of the last "real" Mississippi Delta bluesmen to record some of the last "real" down home blues. On this LP you'll discover: 180-gram vinyl produced from direct metal mastering, one bonus track, 13 astounding performances from an accomplished singer, guitarist and harmonica player at the peak of his abilities, a mix of Frost's own songs and his take on blues themes and licks that go way, way back.

The original sleeve art and notes appear, just as they were back in the day this LP was first issued on the Phillips International label in 1962. The original sleeve notes described Frost as "a truly talented artist," saying this album was first put together "to give the multitude of people that love rhythm and blues not just a few songs that are tops in their field, but to give you 12 potential hits on one great album."

So, get this LP and experience the pleasure felt by those multitude of blues fans back in the period of classic vinyl albums.

Frank Frost came from Auvergne, Arkansas (born April 15, 1936) and he died in Helena, Arkansas on October 12, 1999. He was the last great blues player on the original Sun/Phillips Int. labels and he was there on merit. He worked early in his career with Sonny Boy Williamson and with Robert Nighthawk. He worked with Sam Carr, Nighthawk's son, and guitarist Big Jack Johnson. Their band was named after Sam's father but changed to the Jelly Roll Kings after the local success of the song of that name on this LP. Frost went on to record the blues for Jewel Records and to feature in the blues documentary "Deep Blues" and the cult movie, "Crossroads." He, Carr and Johnson played blues in their own juke joints for many years. Frost described his music as "modern blues" but "deep blues" and had a favorite saying: "Blues will forever be."
