Editorial Reviews
About the Artist
Frank Jackson currently lives in the Washington, DC area. He has 13 years experience in the musical field to include key roles in major local drama productions as well as performances in local talent shows and showcases. His first solo project, A Backslider's Prayer, was primarily inspired by the death of one of his close friends who was killed due to his involvement with drugs and gangs. His untimely death changed Frank's focus from the youth within the churches' four walls to the youth outside. This project is truly unique in that it gives you a taste of traditional gospel, praise-n-worship, r&b, urban and jazz. The music will take you soaring and the lyrics will bring you right back home.

Product Description
Frank Jackson's debut project, "A Backslider's Prayer" is truly a timeless piece. Lyrically, it is a compelling biography of his life experiences. You can't help but be touched by the emotion and passion felt through his vocals. Musically, Frank shows his ability to reach you with heart felt chord structures song after song. You'll find it hard to skip to the next track and equally difficult to choose a favorite. His magnetic style will draw you in and leave you with a sense of fulfillment and gratification by journey's end.

5 out of 5 stars Amazingly Talented Artist!!.......2001-10-25

In an industry that's hung up on elaborate hooks and beats it's refreshing to hear a unique sound from one of the best independent gospel artists I've heard in a long time. Frank Jackson may not be a name you know but I assure you that it won't be long before his name will be heard alongside Darryl Coley, Tonex, Kirk Franklin, Kevin McFadden, Fred Hammond and others. His unique style enables the listener to see a glimpse of his life through his music. I must say that my favorite songs on this CD are "Grace", "Timeless", "A Backslider's Prayer" and "Can't Stop Me". Each song delivers heart touching melodies that you're sure to enjoy. Take it from an independent promoter, Frank Jackson is an amazingly talented artist!

5 out of 5 stars Inspiring!.......2001-08-21

I am not a fan of most contemporary gospel music, but I truly enjoyed this CD. The honesty and depth of emotion projected was felt from the very first track to the last. A bonus was the actual singing skill possessed by Mr. Jackson. It's becoming rare that a singer can actually sing, so his talent was a pleasant surprise. I am waiting anxiously for his next CD

4 out of 5 stars Simply Original.......2001-08-21

I have known frank jacksion for quite a few years now and have always known that releasing a cd was a true dream of his. I found the songs to be solely from his heart with alot of depth and soul. I wish frank nothing but the best and look forward to hearing more soulfoul music from here in the future.

I normally listen to rock and various other music styles, but I've never bought a gospel album until now. I had heard clips of Frank Jackson's album and decided to give it a try. It was well worth it!! The melodies are smooth and the lyrics are great. I highly recommend A Backslider's Prayer!
