Frank Frost - Harpin' On It - 2002.

Review:

WestSide's 13-track collection Harpin' on It: The Complete Jewel Recordings compiles all of the songs Frank Frost cut for the Louisiana label in the mid-'60s. While these sides aren't as down-and-dirty as his earlier material for Sun, they're still enjoyable, revved-up juke joint blues. If anything, he stretches the form a little bit here, getting a little funkier with the rhythms, a little rockier in the guitar, and all the production sounds a bit more modern, more like the mid-'60s (which, ironically enough, means it doesn't sound as timeless as his earlier recordings). Throughout it all, Frost's great harp is front and center, and his playing is always first-rate, even when the material is a little pedestrian. Fortunately, he hit the mark more often than not while on Jewel -- most notably on instrumentals, plus the great Slim Harpo takeoff, "My Back Scratcher" -- which is why this is worth hearing.

Frank Frost - Live In Lucerne - 2004.

Review
This is Frank's last recording and it is his only live album. It was recorded on his 1998 European tour at the Lucerne Blues Festival in Switzerland and features producer, guitarist Fred James and ex-Amazing Rhythm Aces bass player Jeff Davis, along with longtime drummer Sam Carr.
Frank passed away in 1999. He was considered to be the greatest of the second generation of Delta Blues harmonica players. He began his career, though, as a backing guitarist for Robert Nighthawk and Sonny Boy Williamson (II). It was Sonny Boy who inspired him to pick up the harmonica and the influence is obvious. He and drummer Sam Carr formed The Jelly Roll Kings in the late 50s as a duo with Frank playing guitar and harp on a rack. They soon added Jack Johnson on guitar and bass and it was this unit that recorded for Sun/Phillips, Jewel and Earwig.
Frank hooked up with Fred James and Bluesland Productions in the late 80s and together they recorded for Appaloosa/Ichiban, Evidence and Hightone. Look for more from Frank Frost on R.O.A.D. Records in the coming years.
