There isn't a mediocre track on Francey's first CD, sophocleese. Every time I play it a different song gets locked in my head. Gypsy Boys, Working Poor, Torn Screen Door, Border Line, Hard Steel Mill, Long Way Home, etc. etc. I have just ordered his second CD from www.davidfrancey.com. At Calgary, too, he sang a powerful song for the first time (just completed) called "No More Wishes at the Wishing Well, prompted by the grotesque media circus surrounding the execution of the Oklahoma bomber. We'll have to wait for a third CD for that one.
