THE REVIEW

The American magazine Living Blues announces the release of the new album by Frank Bey.

David Whiteis's article recalls that the career of this Blues interpreter began during the tour of Otis Redding in the 60s. A deep soul of the Blues, he had to wait until 1996 to release his first solo album, while continuing live performances in the Philadelphia area over the years. In 2014, he received a nomination for Soul Blues Album of the Year at the Blues Music Awards.

Back in business highlights the voice of this “boy” from 1946 with his scratchy yet flexible excursions complemented by the electric Blues strokes of guitarist McNelly.
Rough, approximate Blues. There is no new territory to explore, and that is precisely the joy of his music.
