专辑简介

These pieces are in the hokum style, sexually suggestive and jaunty, often performed with truly remarkable jug accompaniment. Frankie is an energetic and enthusiastic performer, accompanying his pieces with yips and cackles. In some of them, he takes on the female role, in others the male, and in some, both. You can hear the vaudeville influence in some of his song's introductions: "I'm going to sing you a song entitled, "Roses are red, violets are black; if your pants are too loose, pull in the slack" and then proceed to sing something totally unrelated.He does great renditions of "Corinne," "My Four Reasons," and "I"ll Dance With the Guy Wot Brung Me." "Down at Jasper's Bar-B-Q" will make you hungry. The most remarkable piece is the previously unreleased "Operation Blues," probably the one piece on here that would get you in trouble if you played it on air at the radio station.
