Frank Edwards (blues musician)
- Frank Edwards (blues musician)
Frank Edwards (March 20, 1909 in Washington, Georgia, United States – March 22, 2002 in Greenville, South Carolina) was a blues guitarist, harmonica player and singer. He recorded for three record labels in his career; OkeH Records in 1940, Regal Records in 1949, and Trix Records in the mid-1970s. Some more recent sessions were done for the Music Maker Relief Foundation - Frank died while being driven back to his Atlanta home after doing his final recordings! He always sounded like himself, a unique singer and song writer who played rack harmonica along with his guitar and whose distinctive approach sadly influenced few (R.L. Lowe from Atlanta was one). He was a gentle man in all senses of the words.
