Frank Mendenhall's Music

Frank's first solo album, Time, was released in 1995 after he'd been toying with Reggae. "Babalon Trail" and "Rumble In The Jungle" are two Reggae tunes that are squeezed into otherwise soul songs. According to Frank, "That was the only way I could say what I wanted to say."
