Frank Evans and His top Notchers - Pull The Shades Down Ma (1957)

Starday 645
More Superb Boppin Hillbilly From Frank Evans!
This kind of Country was "out of time" in 1957, theres why it was released on Starday`s custom press.

Frank Evans was born in 1940. He was a 13-year old veteran and hillbilly music star in the Tampa, Florida area in the early 1950s. By 1953 or so, he had already done 78 consecutive weeks of shows on two Tampa radio stations - WHBO and WALT. He had his own show and it was sponsored by the Velda Ice Cream Company.

As television came into the light of day, Frank also worked television appearances into his busy schedule. In 1956, Frank and his group were being seen and heard over WSUN-TV in St. Petersburg, Florida.

One of the highlights they said of his early career was appearing on the same bill with the legendary Red Foley when his show came to Tampa.

He recorded several records on Starday Package Deal in 1956-57
