Franks Wild Years
Franks Wild Years is the ninth studio album by Tom Waits, released 1987 on Island Records. Subtitled "Un Operachi Romantico in Two Acts", the album contains songs written by Waits and collaborators (mainly his wife, Kathleen Brennan) for a play of the same name. The shared title of the album and the play is an iteration of "Frank's Wild Years", a song from Waits' 1983 album "Swordfishtrombones".
The play had its world premiere at the Briar St. Theatre
Ready 'n' Steady
"Ready 'n' Steady" is a song written by D. A. Lucchesi and Jim Franks, and performed by the group D. A. The song appeared on "Billboard" magazine's Bubbling Under the Hot 100 chart for three weeks in June 1979; however, for many years, neither the record, nor any information about it or the artist, could be found. This lead many collectors to label "Ready 'n' Steady" a "phantom record" that did not exist at
