Frank Keenan - One

(May 2010) 11 tracks (51 mins): The Curlew's Song * The Wind Blows Cold * Steel On Steel * The Cotter's Lament * One * The Road * Blow You Away * Home Grown * Good Times * So Far * Feel Of Real.

Frank's strong tenor voice and masterful guitar playing instantly enthrall audiences far and wide.

Although Glasgow-born, Frank has proudly called Orkney his home for the past twenty years - so much so that his self-penned songs evoke and encapsulate the textures of island life and landscapes.

Having been composing his own music for three decades, his influences include both traditional and contemporary folk artists including John Martyn, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, The Incredible String Band, Donovan, Pink Floyd, Dr John, Bob Dylan and many others.

The gentle but strong, rich tenor voice of Frank Keenan, the cleverly crafted lyrics and the sensitive accompaniment all make this second album another winner - it looks set to go down a treat with audiences.

In recent years, Frank has been playing to a wider audience, including the Orkney Folk Festival, Celtic Connections and Speyfest.
