I first discovered "Harmonica" Frank as I delved into the curious and ribald world of risque blues. Mr. Floyd is responsible for some of the biggest screams in this genre. One of these definitely not radio-friendly tunes, "Shampoo" is reissued here along with the rest of his sputtering content. The Yosemite Sam of the singing hobos is earthy and unique. Cutting his teeth in carnival, theater and medicine shows his hillbilly blues gets right to the point, before the cops show up. The glossy booklet fills in gaps on the life of this little-known bridge between rural music of white and black derivations. Definitely one of a kind and another example of the important preservationists made by Genes Records. ~ Tom Schulte

This posthumous album (Frank Floyd died in 1984) stands as a tribute to the kind of talent that simply can't exist any more. Floyd came up on the now-defunct medicine show circuit, and that concept of holding and entertaining an audience shaped his music (and his patter, as is obvious from this), then recorded for Sun in 1954 -- the same year as Elvis. In spite of his name, he was more than a harmonica player; he was also a superb guitarist and a credible singer who possessed what might be called an individual way with the English language (listen to "Shoop-a-Boop-Adoodler" if you need proof). On this set, recorded live in Memphis schools and in the studio in 1979, there's a mix of plenty of originals and blues chestnuts like "Deep Elum Blues" and Howlin' Wolf's "Sittin' on Top of the World," along with very regional standards like "It Ain't Gonna Rain No Mo." The meat here is definitely in his own music, however, with songs like "The Great Medical Menagerist" and "Married Man's Blues" that seem to completely encapsulate his winning personality. Thankfully there's this and a couple of other mementos of him. ~ Chris Nickson
