I FIRST SAW STEVE FRUMHOLZ AND DAN MCCRIMMON AS FRUMMAX AT THE "CHECKERED FLAG" CLUB IN AUSTIN, ABOUT 1970-71. THEIR MUSIC STRUCK A CHORD IN MY GUITAR-PICKER'S HEART. THEIR ALBUM "FROM HERE TO THERE" SOON CAME TO OUR HOME, WHERE IT STILL IS...SO WORN THAT I JUST BASICALLY MEMORIZED ALL THE SONGS SO THE LP WOULDN'T GET SO MUCH WEAR. I RECORDED SOME PERSONAL FRUMMAX APPEARANCES ON RADIO LATER ON, INCLUDING A SONG NAMED "COME UP TO THE MOUNTAINS", WHICH REALLY NEEDS TO BE ON A CD. THE CROWNING MEMORY OF FRUMMAX AND THE FINE GIFT STEVE F. GAVE THE WORLD WAS "TEXAS TRILOGY". FROM WHAT I READ NOWADAYS, STEVE IS PROBABLY AWARE THAT MANY AMATEUR (LIKE ME) AND PRO FELLOW PICKERS HAVE TAKEN THIS WONDERFUL PIECE OF LIVING HISTORY AND PLAYED IT ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. WELL, JUST AD MY MANY RENDITIONS OVER THE YEARS, SUNG BEFORE A GURU IN A SOUTH INDIAN ASHRAM, AND SUNG TO THE BEAUTIFUL TEXAS WOMAN WHO WAS TO BECOME MY WIFE. THANK YOU, STEVE.

Steve Fromholz is, in my humble opinion,one of the greatest treasures we have in Texas. I've seen him perform at venues like MacHenreys in Fort Worth, and also at festivals like Raz On the Braz, and never fail to put on a great show. This CD is no exception to that fact. It's music the way I love to hear it, songs that inspire me, performed by the man who wrote them with nothing but his guitar. With the recently renewed popularity of acoustic shows, here's one from before it was cool. This should be required listening for anyone who claims to be a fan of live music. I just wish I could have given it more stars. Thank you Steve.

Artist Review
Shortly before moving to Texas in 1980 I was introduced to the music of Steve Fromholz. Little did I realize until after I arrived how his music captured the essence of Texas. Many were the times I listened to A Rumor in My Own Time and Jus' Playin'Along. Years went by and I left Texas, but a few years ago I walked into a CD store in Cowtown and asked the clerk if he had anything by Steve Fromholz. He handed me Guest in Your Heart. What can I say? Dozens of years later and the man hadn't lost a lick. The voice as mellow as ever, the songs as clever or touching. Steve Fromholz's music is on a higher plane. It's not the music you are likely to hear on a C&W station. It is far more authentic. Even here in Maine, when I listen to Cowboy Country Club or Saddest Man in Texas, I can feel Texas in my bones. Steven is more than a singer, more than an entertainer, he is the Texas Troubador. Mr. Fromholz is easily Texas' best kept secret. It is unfortunate that he has not gained the recognition he deserves, but for those of us who have been fortunate enough to hear of him, his music is timeless.

I went to school with Steve in Denton, Texas. Steve was a quiet, unconsuming, star athlete(well a athlete)Steve won't admit it but he was a pretty fair bowler also. During his high school years, I never heard Steve perform, which is a shame, because I lost out hearing a rare talent and now I can't get enough of his music. I just went back to our home town for the first time since 1973 and walked around the courthouse square being a tourist in my home town. I found some of Steve's music and a pretty graphic reveiw of Steve's life as a song writer and performer.Very interesting. I know this is a long review for someone re-living old memories about times old times. Steve is one the greatest song writers-celebrities to ever to come from the North Texas area. I think someone should organize a Steve Fromholz appreciation jubilee to thank him for all his great accomplishments in the music field. I don't have the money to do this by myself, by if I did I would. But I would give of my time to help.Steve McBride classmate-friend

Thanks Kurt. I pulled out an old Fromholz album I had sitting around my house. As I sat there and listened to it, I began to realize what it was that made me fall in love with the music of Mr. Fromholz. The "Texas Trilogy", Bears, what do you say, the guy transports you to a different time, a different place. Those of you who have never heard of Mr. Fromholz, you need to listen. He is what Texas music is all about. He is amazing. If you get a chance, see him at Larry Joe Taylor's music festival in Stephenville this year. It will be a show that you will not soon forget.

I always go to hear Steve whenever ge appears at Anderson Fair in Houston. He puts on a fun, majestically entertaining evening. His beautiful voice, guitar playing, and his performance of his music are all totally awesome! The lyrics of his songs are beautiful, many humorous and some very sad, and mostly written by Steve! I have seen him perform at Liberty Hall and Houston's Steamboat Springs! He has only gotten better! I can definitely promise that you won't be disappointed. I own his very first album, Frolicking in the Myth! Treat yourself to a wonderful evening and you will certainly be a life-long fan, too!

This takes me back to the days when my buddy's big brother would sneak us in to the old Poor David's Pub on McKinney Avenue in Dallas to hear Fromholz at work. The "Old Fart" is in fine voice and playing better guitar than I remember. The old tunes hold up and the newer ones retain that distinct Fromholz wit. The interminable passage of time seems only to amuse and amaze him. Fromholz is a wonderful writer and performer and now he has gone digital..."thank you, Jesus...and thank you Willie (not necessarily in that order)."
