Frank Edwards: Done Some Travelin'
Label: Trix: Released : 1972 Format : Mp3@320  Edwards' only album was recorded for Trix in 1972, and it was a masterpiece of bemused originals, odd covers, spiritual cries, and hedonistic shouts.

It won't make him a legend, but it might make people realize that there are still great musicians around whom they've never heard.
