Check out this cover of Steely Dan's classic Deacon Blues. Hoping to make this the first in a series of videos, featuring raw guest talent, original songs, and old songs in original ways. Check it out...
Welcome
Norman Frank’s music is equal parts soulful and heavy, praising and damning, American and global. A musically rich tapestry of R&B, Afrobeat, Jazz, Vintage Pop, and World, all rooted in the fertile musical delta of the Blues. Every song is a world within itself, never quite taking the listener to the same place twice, yet somehow managing to connect these manifold musical journeys through sounds that transcend time. Typically performed by a goliath ensemble of instrumentalists of every stripe, The Ghost Dance is the sound of worlds past brought current, the way music is supposed to be made: by people, for people. Not to be missed, this music will get you on your feet, and put you on your knees.

Norman Frank on the new 99X Atlanta
Thanks a ton to the new 99X Atlanta for featuring Spark of the Divine on their local music page, and for giving the song lots of airplay on the air waves. If you haven't checked them out, you really should. You can listen on 98.9 FM in the Metro Atlanta area, and you can stream live elsewhere in the country.
Take a minute to give us a "thumbs up" on the page as well, just like Youtube.
