Songs of the Untamed West
Frank Fara’s songs and vocals transport you through a musical time line of the American West
“ Frank Fara’s latest is like a musical time machine that brings to life some of the Old West’s most colorful characters through original songs executed with skill and panache. Take a deep seat, slap leather and hang on. It’s a wild ride! ” Charley Engel ~ American Cowboy Magazine
“A True masterpiece of songwriting that will get it's place in the history books of western music” Bruno Michel ~ Country Music Journalist ~ Texas
“ Frank found a brilliant way to turn history into music” The Country Startpage ~ Netherlands
“....If anyone is thinking of starting studies of the West, don't buy a book, buy this CD and learn whilst you enjoy the music” Pete Smith ~ Advertiser ~ United Kingdom
“Frank Fara is a master of the historical song. Relating true events in song form is tricky enough. To come up with a song that stands on its own lyrically and musically, while telling the stories of real people and places is quite a feat ~ one which Frank has accomplished over and over again” Paul Marshall ~ Musician ~ Singer ~ Songwriter
