Earlier this year, L.A. based singer/songwriter Frankel (Michael Orendy) released what has become one of our very favorite albums of 2007 - Lullaby For The Passerby. An absolute must for fans of Nilsson, Lennon/McCartney, et al.
Below is the b-side “Love Leash,” plus two tracks off Lullaby that regularly make my radio show tracklist rotation.
