The highest honor a singer-songwriter can achieve is to have his or her songs covered by one of the immortals -- in which case, few can boast as many laurels as Bob Franke. His songs have been covered by John McCutcheon, David Wilcox, June Tabor and quite a few others. It's the deep compassion and humility of Franke's songwriting that draws them to his work and makes him such a moving performer.
