Frank Morey
Stack O'Lee
The Delmark Sessions — 2002
Frank Morey recorded his version of "Stack O' Lee" on his 2002 album The Delmark Sessions. Known for his gritty, blues-infused approach to folk-rock and roots music, Morey's style on this track echoes his broader musical influences, including early rock and roll and Chicago blues. His throaty, rough-edged vocals, reminiscent of early Tom Waits, bring a raw, emotional depth to the classic tale of Stagger Lee. The album itself showcases Morey’s ability to blend blues, roots, and folk elements with a modern twist, making it a fitting backdrop for this traditional ballad.
