Thomas Fraser
Shetland Lone Star
[HOP001] - 2 in Stock
Thomas Fraser, Shetland fisherman and closet country music star, fell in love with country music listening to US Forces radio in World War 2. When electricity came to his island of Burra in 1953 he bought himself a tape recorder and recorded hundreds of songs. When he died in 1978 he was unknown outside Shetland. Thirty years later a clutch of posthumously released CD?s have lead to him being acclaimed as ?the most important figure in British country music.? His friends, family and admirers tell his story.
