1.	Matter of Style 02:59	lyrics	buy track
Ain’t got no money, no fancy car, All I got now is this blue guitar Lover on board, feeling alive, Looking for ways to get herself high Like it or not, It’s just a matter of style I like my women sleazy and lean, I like my men obedient, mean Chances are blown, and people are vile Places I go, I stay for a while Like it or not, It’s just a matter of style Now got myself a rattlesnake bone, Wrapped it around a diamond stone Stashing it all by the side of the road, Love is no friend when you’re out in the cold Like it or not, It’s just a matter of style
2.	Night Rider 02:36	lyrics	buy track
You’ve seen him back down in 1956, Carrying a bone, and a set of guitar strings You’ve seen him back down in 1979, On liquor and drugs, but doing just fine He’s a Night Rider, It’s the highway that makes him bleed Night Rider, Trading his blood for nothing but speed You’ve seen him with hookers, rebels and thieves You’ve seen him with people wandering around in disbelief You’ve seen him back down in 1985, He was still on the gear, still in the jive He’s a Night Rider, It’s the highway that makes him bleed Night rider, Trading his blood for nothing but speed
3.	Leave Me Your Number 03:02	lyrics	buy track
I saw you down the street today, lookin’ real fine Wondering now if that's how you lookin’ all the time? I said, leave me your number, And I will call you every day Leave me your number, And I will call you every day I’m gonna call you every night Until you block me away I saw you down in Monterey, struttin’ like a boss Wondering now if that’s how you always come across? I said, leave me your number And I will call you every day Leave me your number And I will call you every day  I’m gonna call you every night Until you block me away
4.	She Do What She Like 02:48	lyrics	buy track
Don’t care for love Don’t care for pain Don’t care for honey Don’t care for lame Don’t care bambino Don’t care for dame Don’t care for clothes Don’t care for shows Don’t care for seats Now she’s your type Cause she do she do she do She do what she like Oh yes you know she do, she do, She do what she like Take her home my son She don’t care for mother Don’t care for brother Don’t care for lover Don’t care for dollar Don’t care for sorrow Don’t care a dime Don’t care for skies Don’t care for life Don't care for your ex wife Now she’s your type Cause she do she do she do She do what she like Oh yes you know she do she do She do what she like So take her home Take her home And leave her out there Cause she’s coming back to me Take her home Take her home Take her home
5.	Charlie 02:29	lyrics	buy track
Horse tattoo, liquor, codeine Heart made of stone & rain Needs me in the kitchen, I can help a little bit Find her diamond ring Crazy… about Charlie Never alone and never at home Never gets a hold of time A land without a road and a sky without a dip Fingers down in crime Crazy… about Charlie Charlie don’t care 'bout horses She don’t care 'bout venom and gore Like them mysterious forces And the life that’s hidden offshore Crazy… about Charlie Horse tattoo, liquor, codeine A heart made of stone & rain Neds me in the kitchen I can help a little bit Find her diamond ring Crazy… about Charlie
6.	96 in The Shade 02:54	lyrics	buy track
96 in the shade Cool grass, lemonade No way to get you out of my head… 96 in the shade High class, rollerblade Gonna get you out of my head… Get you out of my head 96 in the shade Wild guess, promenade 96 in the shade Sweet drops, marinade Gonna get you out of my head… Gonna get you out of my head… Gonna get you out of my head… Cool grass, lemonade Alright, I’m gonna play some guitar now (play it, boy!) Cool grass, lemonade…
7.	She's A Lover 01:56	lyrics	buy track
My baby don’t care if it rains or shines Don’t mind a little fling as long as it’s mine She’s a lover All through the night She’s coming up close looking for a bite As long as I play along I might just be alright Cause she’s a lover All through the night Now all the other girls are eyeing up her footwear High heels, mini skirt and a batmobile Cause she’s a lover Just keeping it real C’mon now darling, move you hip Yeah baby, lower that shirt so your collar bone can slip Are you an artist? And you like it deep Now when the morning comes She wants a little more Eggs, bacon, sausage roll She’s a lover All through the dawn And when we go out there’s trouble straight ahead Lots of different boys are thinking what to say Cause she’s a lover All through the day She's a lover All through the day
8.	The Witch 03:47	lyrics	buy track
Will she sink or will she float? Shall we hang her down or cut her throat? Will she sink or will she float? Remember now it's what the scripture wrote We gonna burn, burn that thing alive We gonna burn, burn that thing alive We gonna burn, burn it to the ground Go on now and lay your hand upon the devil’s maid And if it bites you, stings you like a blade Let it be a sign, most wicked of them all Everyone behold now the witch’s fall We gonna burn, burn it to the ground We gonna burn, burn it to the ground And after a while, when she’s dead and gone Buried alive with a black cat bone She’ll haunt us all together in our dreams The witch sure ain’t never now what she seems Hmmm will she sink or will she float? Shall we hang her down or cut her throat? Will she sink or will she float? Shall we hang her down or cut her throat? Burn, burn it to the ground Burn, burn it to the ground Burn, burn it to the ground The witch sure ain’t never what she seems The witch sure ain’t never what she seems

about

With his second solo release "Night Rider", Frank Magnolia’s takes his rhythmically-driven trance blues further. This time we got drums, congas, shakers, and maracas, and yes, we got cowbell, we got bass, upright bass, we got badass sub-bass, we got fat electric guitars, jazz guitars, slide guitars and of course, Magnolia’s trademark punch-and-pull 6-string dreadnaught, and we got witches and church bells, tricksters and bad girls, liquor and jive, betrayal and romance, desire and deception, and we got Telecasters and SG’s, and overdriven tube amps, lounge voodoo, cat funk and roots rock, and even a little thunderstorm.

Available on all streaming platforms.

"Frank's protagonists are night riders and midnight vagabonds, stowaways, maniacs, gamblers and tricksters, miserable dealers, lewd men and cheating women, offsprings of the underground and other morally dubious souls..."
(Oblakoder)

"With fingers of Devendra Banhart, the tormented soul of Tom Waits and an attitude of Lemmy, comes Frank Magnolia and his unique crossover of delta blues, southern gothic and heavy rock."
(Muzzik TV)
