“...a new Toronto-based folk duo, Fraser & Girard, an incomparable couple on and off the stage...”

“... an amazing evening of music and memories ... forty years later there is still a buzz about Fraser and deBolt and their songs. More importantly there is still a buzz about Allan Fraser ... Cohen, Woodhead, Axler and Guenther meshed tightly on the original songs that Fraser performed. The audience was there to soak up the Fraser vibe and were respectfully attentive and were thrilled when Fraser opened with his signature song ‘Dance Hall Girls’. The rest of the set was a great blend of Fraser’s eclectic collection of originals, including We Shall Be Delivered ... there is no mistaking his original sound and style. If he is performing anywhere near you make sure you get out to experience this truly original artist and his work, and visit his ReverbNation site to give a listen. You’ll be glad you did. ”

“New York Times on Fraser and deBolt April 19, 1971 : “ … As in gypsy theatre, their songs are performances and their lyrics are as dramatic and direct as finely spoken folk tales. … With this range of feeling, dense imagery and unexpected depth, their words may well find a place in the oral tradition of poetry ... ””

“An Overnight Sensation : The Story of Fraser and deBolt”

“Super record producer, Craig Leon, whose highly eclectic project credits include hit records for Luciano Pavarotti, James Galway and the London Symphony, as well as pop acts like Blondie, The Ramones, Shawn Phillips and legendary Canadian bands Chilliwack and Cowboy Junkies, thinks most highly of Fraser's work with deBolt and compares their lasting influence to music over the decades to that of Howlin' Wolf and Carl Ruggles.”

“Heros : ... Allan Fraser and the late, great Daisy deBolt because they were so fine. - Montreal Gazette Oct 31 2011”

“I was very excited to learn that you were doing a special on Fraser and Debolt. I was big fan, and was greatly saddened to hear of Daisy's recent passing... she was a great talent and a one-of-a-kind character. I was happy to hear your show tonight, but though a few licks were missed. For instance, where was the iconic "Columbus Hits the Shorline Rag"?, with one of the most haunting, wailed, hook lines ever recorded? I kept thinking... 'any minute now, they'll play it any minute now. Maybe they'll close the show with it... a fitting way to do it... a suitable musical and lyric hook.' But no. So, F&D fans, new and old, look it up. "Lord, Lord, Send me America -- That's how Columbus Prayed!" Or "Broad Daylight Woman" -- it defined Fraser and Debolt's personal relationship. Where was that? Or "I Want To Dance With You".... in the words of Alan Fraser from your documentary, "You want hot????" Anyway, thanks for the taste of one of the greatest unsung Canadian acts of all time.”

“This show took me by surprise tonight. I was driving along the 401 heading into town and just flipped on the radio. Suddenly I was catapulted back to the fearless time when I was 18. My throat tightened and something was happening n my chest. I wondered if I would cry or laugh or both. It was like running unexpectedly into an old lover. How I loved that music then. Repeatedly, the word "intensity" was used by commentators to describe it. My memory is that it felt like you were always breathing in until the last bar when you could relax. As tape, then CDs and now downloads pushed the vinyl further and further back into the closet, I sort of forgot Fraser and Debolt. Tonight brought them blazing back to me. Thank you so much. If there is an outcry, a project to get their music on to iTunes or whatever way makes it available, I'd like to support it. Meanwhile, I'm digging out the original beatup album. Love it. Thank you CBC for the gift of memory.”

“Woke up instantly - from a deep Sunday afternoon snooze - upon barely catching a few bars of music on the radio in the background that my subconscious immediately recognized as part of a Fraser & DeBolt tune that I hadn't heard in more than thirty years !* !* ! Not since my unauthorized home copy on cassette tape had self-destructed back in the late '70s . Your program was both bliss and agony to my ears . If only the suits at Columbia would wake up an realize that there is a market for a reissue CD box set of Fraser & DeBolt and/with Ian Guenther ! It would give an eye-tooth just to hear both albums again . My old hippy Toronto roots from the '60s just shook off a lot of dirt , and are seeing the sun again ! Thanks to CBC and Patti Schmidt ...... Bill-on-the-Hill - ( no longer lost in the bushes ! ) *”
