REVIEW:
By Yours Truly
This is a superior effort in many ways, an ensemble piece from start to finish. It's a damn crime that this guy isn't still making records today but for all my searching he seems to have dropped off the face of the earth after this album, his second effort. The album starts off with an uptempo, jazzy version of the Eagles tune "take it to the Limit" and just gets better from there on out. These are obviously all very accomplished musicians and they play up a storm backing Franks tunes.
I'd be willing to bet that somewhere down the line some suit without a tune in his body said, hey, we've already got Billy Joel.......and because of that mindset another giant talent gets lost in the shuffle. What a shame. I hope you'll take the time to take a listen.

Hey Tom, I played bass with Frank for a number of years and played on this album. You hit it right on the nose. The record company, RCA, didn't know how to promote Weber. He had that mellow jazz sound like Michael Franks, but not rock enough for a larger younger audience. Where to put him in the record bin? was the question. He was a very talented composer and pianist. Check out his first album. It was wonderful. However, this album had a hand picked band of great musicians. Contact me if you'd like anymore info.
