it's a slack-jawed ugly world

About Me

Matt Frank. American poet warlord/ folksinger/ dylanist/ bootlegger. Plays raw music that sounds like it came from a hobo jungle in the 1930's about women, moonshining, traveling, and nonsense. Probably seduced your grandma back when she was young. Most of his influence comes from early Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie, and delta blues singers. Plays anywhere especially when drunk in the rain. His mind is filled with sepia toned images and trains, no good towns and bad luck tales. He just had the misofrtune of being born in the wrong part of the century. - ROBO SCIENCE ZINE
