Big time Bassist, award winning producer, blues man and yes now Troubadour on his first official solo album.
On the Wings of the Wind Fraser’s new album is a beautiful collection of introspective songs.
Songs like Ocean of Emotions, My Father’s Ashes and the title track bear likeable dependable changes and melodies.
Don’t Cry For Me featuring a great fiddle solo and fills from Chris Bartos would sound great on any roots radio format.
In addition Terlingua Night a gentle rolling song featuring Jimmy Bowskill on mandolin works magic.
Considering his many musical hats as a producer and engineer his productions and bass work have won 23 awards worldwide
However it’s no stretch to say the inclusion of any of these songs at a gig would be very welcome.
