Bio / Background
There is a type of singer-songwriter who specializes in odes to the dark urban underbelly of America.
It has its roots in the cross-fertilization between the beats and the folkies dating back to the 1950s, when poets hung with hoboes in trainyards and college dropouts hitchhiked lonesome two-lanes to the coffehouses of Greenwich Village.
"Cocaine" by Dave Van Ronk and Bob Dylan's cover of Blind Lemon Jefferson's "See That My Grave I Kept Clean" established the prototype.
Tim Hardin, Lou Reed and Tom Waits kept the thread going as the sixties became the seventies.
A Massachusetts performer named Frank Morey has been handed the torch and is handling it well.
He ranks among the greats in the lineage by virtue of his voice.
The best of this type of singer-songwriter has always had a smoke-frayed, booze-worn quality that has sounded perfectly natural.
Many a second-stringer has suffered from the fatal flaw of contriving, rather than actually having, such a voice.
Not so Mr. Morey.
