Name Now One Man

This is a tune I first recorded a couple of years back and released on my album “Drawn Inward” (http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/richardfranklin2). It is a jazz-rock fusion number. I think this is one of my best tunes, and until now I never made a video for it. The recording here is the same arrangement as on the album, but is a new recording/performance which sounds a bit more muscular to me.

Sixties Xmas Playlists

For Christmas, here is a playlist for my 60’s style, instrumental Christmas music tracks.

I wish a very Merry Christmas to all who celebrate it, as well as a happy, healthy, peaceful and prosperous new year.

O Little Town of Bethlehem

Installment #14 of “A Sixties Christmas” is “O Little Town of Bethlehem”, here given a surf-guitar/rockabilly setting.

 

Away in a Manger

Installment #13 of a “Sixties Christmas” is a fairly rockin’ version of “Away in a Manger”

The First Noel

Installment #12 of a “Sixties Christmas” is “The First Noel”, here given a fairly straight sixties ballad setting.

Good King Wenceslas

Here is my instrumental guitar-rock arrangement of “Good King Wenceslas”. This Christmas carol tells a story of a Bohemian king going on a journey and braving harsh winter weather to give alms to a poor peasant on the Feast of Stephen (December 26, the Second Day of Christmas). During the journey, his page is about to give up the struggle against the cold weather, but is enabled to continue by following the king’s footprints, step for step, through the deep snow.
