I've been following his career since Antonio's Song. Michael Franks is the most underrated singer/songwriter out there. Thanks so much for the upload.

[bigben1986]

[aming1977]

I really love al the melodies from Michael.

[SkillUnionClan]

You can tell that he's inspired by Jobim, hehe.

[KeemSong1]

this is a great song heard it sunday on wdas fm in philadelphia!!!

[edwardconway27]

@KeemSong1 for sure he was inspired by Jobim. but Michael's got his own style, and he is the best :)

[CoralOfTheSea]

This is a wonderful album!! Michael Franks once again proves he is the master of smooth Jazz!!

[Kezzy3008]

Very smooth as usual.

[wajobu]

Time Together, for Flora, is a really gorgeous song.

[ztube41]

C'est trop bon !...comme toujours d'ailleurs.

[JAZZYJULS]

heard this tune for the first time 4th of July weekend while camping/fishing at the trout pond at Pocomoke State Park in Maryland, on my cell phone on Sirius/XM. This will always remind me of the summer of 2011.. watching the dragonflies and the frogs while fishing on a beautiful summer day....Thanks Michael for that gift you have of instantly giving your listeners a visual.

[JACKOFSPEED39]

This new album is almost vintage sounding, it is absolutely perfectly constructed just beautiful I love the whole album but the song Mice and Now that the summers hear are totally addicting you love it the first time you hear them. If your a Franks fan this album is a must own

[7150035]

[UTC6777]

Michael...I saw you in Oakland this past Friday evening and enjoyed the show. I only wish you sang more tracks from this album... :-(

[DylanGirl1963]

Absolutely FABULOUS new album!! Thanks to all who uploaded these great tracks!

[auburnfolsom]

Mr Franks hits the target once again with his Classic lyrics & sound. Been waiting for a new cd from him.

Many Thanks for posting !! Very nice video !

Who's the woman & boy with Michael on the bench and she's pictured later with him in front of the barn ?

[bluefete77]

@auburnfolsom : That is his wife Claudia and his son Sean. That was a very, very long time ago!!

[MrFolkways]

As a young record saler (22 y.o.) I discovered Michaël in 75 in the shop with "sleeping gipsy". Vinyl records in double ex, then CD, i'm still fond of the groovy impressionist guy ! Hello from France !

[famousba]

I couldn't agree more with the positive comments and with the need to do a UK tour!

[cantoecologico]

thanks for the music and the video Bill! Michael's music will always be in our life and this new CD 'Time Together' will be very very welcome!Thanks

[Tomdiff]

my god his voice sounds as great as ever if i heard this i would have thought it was recorded 40 years ago - he sooooo needs to do a uk tour

[alanskeys]

[solometer]

[hondosabathia]

[hondosabathia]

Michael did it again! another great Jazz hit! I've always love his music. =)

[dimp10]

Thanks Bill and thanks Michael for another great song. Coming from Detroit, your music was always played on our beloved, but now gone WJZZ station. Growing up in the 70's and 80s, my mother and aunts always played your albums. As an adult now myself, I am still a fan, and have seen you in concert many times. I introduced my husband to your music and also my son. He's only 4 and his favorite song is "When Sly Calls." I catch him singing it sometimes. He's a 3rd Generation Michael Franks fan! :)

[hondadog8]

Michael, please bring your SMOOOOOOTH sound to Dayton, Ohio.

[hondadog8]

This is some more GREAT Michael Franks music! He gets it right every time. The first time I heard Michael's music was when we were living in Orlando and they played a lot of his music on WLOQ radio, thanks WLOQ. We got to see Michael Franks and Pat Metheny in Miami at a FREE concert on the beach, man, it doesn't get any better than that. I take that back, Antonio Carlos Jobim would have added frosting to that delicious cake. Anyway, thanks Michael for some more of your wonderful music

[johnartmaster]

I Notice the smooth simple Vintage Franks style all over this!!! So cool!!

[eyeofwooglin]

Sounds fantastic Michael...even vintage. Keep makin' us feel great....love the Kurt mention here in Indy!!

I love this song, just in time for summer. This is vintage Michael Franks, I've been a Michael fan for over 30 years. Please come to Oklahoma City. 

[jellyfish53]

Who's playing acoustic guitar on this track?

[dennisx7]

its time for a Michael Franks live Concert DVD

[MissaChickapea]

Couldn't have come at a better time just as our PacNW "why spring ain't here" winter is finally moving on. Can't wait to pour some vino, fire up the bar-be, and go to that most wonderful place, the lyrical, musical mind of our own beloved Michael Franks. Love this video, too. Always wondered if another of our favs, Flora Purim, ever met Flora Franks. Hee. Thanks also to Bill Cason for this delicious taste of what's coming our lucky way soon.

[SistaMiniB]

Ok Michael....remember where you came from and give So Cali some of your love with that smooth new sound!

[ivanivke]

The summer is here anytime I hear Michael! You are keeping our souls warm even when we are "Watching the Snow"! ;-) Love 4ever!

[alanskeys]

Oh again Michael you are a songwriting Legend, cant wait for the album to add to my other 17 Franks albums.

Please Please Tour the United Kingdom

[msconciouswmn77]

Just love every song u sing, you are God send.

[phnert1]

Yes this is "ear delicious" as usual.

Michael, Please get your peeps to get you a gig booked in Toronto. I don't want to have to drive to Detroit again!!

[tyoka62]

This is absolutely JOY to ones ears!!!!!!!! Thanks Franks!

[Sothy11]

Thrilled that there is new music from Michael Franks!!

[MrLoudubnow]

Thank you Michael, for continuing to do what God has blessed you to do!!! See you at Yoshis!!!

[Misha9766]

Just in time! Michael writes from the most honest of places. Introduced through a love shared, he will always be a part of me.

[01DOCSOUL]

Simply beautiful! I discover Michael Franks in 1981 when I first bought the masterpiece "Sleeping Gypsy" and I now own evey album Michael did.

I agree with what Johnartmaster wrote: "it's high time for a Michael Franks live Concer DVD!"

Peace & Music from Paris

[missatrebor]

Always a joy, Michael Franks. Have been listening to him since 1975 and still loving him. Now I have to run to the music store to get hist latest album! Bye!!!

[4evrYng1]

As I approach a half century on this beautiful planet, I can't imagine the last 30 years without Michael's music! Since I first heard Michael on Love 94 in Miami it has been a magical ride. Thanks Michael!

[feffina84]

I love Michael's music <3

[clivepownceby]

Life without Michael Franks? Unthinkable! It was 'Popsicle Toes' that I first heard all those years ago, on an HMV Shop in-store background system. "Who's that?" I asked. I've been along for this particularly rewarding and enjoyable ride ever since. Thanks Michael - you've soundtracked some memorable moments and refreshed my mindset many times since.

[tanteedit1]

I cannot wait till the album is here! and I'm so happy summer is here, haha!

Michael, you're with me for more then 30 years now. I keep playing your songs on and on and on..I have seen you once on Northsea jazz festival, I hope you'll come to the Netherlands again. I loooove this clip and I love to see your garden and your dogs! give them a kiss. thanks to Bill Cason for uploading this wonderful song

[krh1964]

I love this song... Michael can't wait to see you when you perform here in Charlotte NC, on that night I will ask my lady to marry me.
