Bob Franke (it rhymes
with “Yankee”) is at the peak of his
considerable craft; brimming with the wise and
spiritually generous songs for which he is best
known, along with wrenchingly convincing topical
songs and sugared with the hilarious. His are the
kind of songs that really do have the power to
change the world by being taken into the lives of
people. They come to you, these songs.
As Tom Paxton says,
"It's his integrity. I always think of Bob as
if Emerson and Thoreau had picked up acoustic
guitars and gotten into songwriting. There's touches
of Mark Twain and Buddy Holly in there, too."
