Ashby Frank dials back the tempo — and turns back the clock — with a soulful new take on Jimmy Martin and Paul Williams’ enduring classic “Mr. Engineer.” A lifelong admirer of Martin’s work, Frank has performed the song for years with both Mashville Brigade and his Yachtgrass band. He delivers a blues-tinged, waltz-time version that leans into the song’s lonesome spirit. With its old-school vibe and wickedly bluesy solos, Frank’s recording gives the classic a fresh new edge.
