This is the first CD of Frank Ace released in 1994 on Raina records. Re-released on Chueffa Records with 2 bonus tracks recorded in 1963.
Bio / Background
This is the first CD by Frank Ace. It was recorded in Monterey, California and Phoenix, Arizona, in 1993, and it was released in 1994 on the Raina label.
This CD should have gone to the top, and placed Frank Ace at the top of the blues charts. Living Blues Magazine gave "It's About Time" high praise. Magazines that had never heard of Frank Ace placed it on their "albums to have" list. If not for the financial breakdown of Raina records, "It's About Time" would have been BIG.
Chueffa Records, LLC has re-released "It's About Time" and added (2) bonus tracks (Lady Margaret and Kirk) from Frank's garage band of 1962. There was only 500 records (45's) released in Tucson, Arizona in 1964. The Frank Ace Combo backed artists like Vernon Garrett, Thaddeus Jackson, Roger Collins and Johnny Morisette.
The original 10 songs of "It's About Time" stand tall on their own with Horns arranged by Emmerson "Sleepy" Carreuthers.
↓ more ↓Frank Ace, and his good friend Charles Allan Jones, along with some of the finest musicians in Monterey and Phoenix made "It's About Time" one of the best CDs to be released in Phoenix. Musicians like, Bill Tarsha from The Rocket 88's plays harmonica on "Woman Down In Texas" and A.P. Gordon's alto sax solo on "Jolly's" is sax-tastick.
Virgil Lane's tenor sax solo on "When You Move You Lose" is masterful, and Edward "Buddy" Jones's tenor sax solo is old
school at it's best. Tommy Washington's accompaniment on "The Thrill Is Gone" is just the most moving piano work I have ever heard. You will not believe Frank recorded his solo in Monterey two months before Tommy did.
Rounding out the horn section was David Axton on trumpet, Melvin G. Garber on tenor saxaphone, and Walter Brown on trombone. Frank Ace with heart wrenching vocals and soul stirring guitar solos will let you see why we say, "this CD should have gone to the top." You Be The Judge!
