Frank Solivan & Dirty Kitchen released You Can’t Stand The Heat on Jan. 25, 2019 on Compass Records. The new 10-song collection, co-produced by Grammy-winning banjoist and Compass co-founder Alison Brown, offers a vibrant mix of songs, including the traditional "Lena" featuring the mid-Atlantic bluegrass vocals of Danny Paisley and Dudley Connell, the neo-old timey "Crooked Eye John," with the inimitable fiddling of label mate Michael Cleveland, and the compelling lead-off track "Crave," co-written by Frank and Becky Buller and showcasing the guitar prowess of Chris Luquette. The new album also delivers a compelling rendition of Steely Dan’s “Rikki” with lead vocals from Jeremy Middleton, the catchy “Be Sure” written by Frank Solivan, and the red-hot instrumental "Crack of Noon" penned by banjoist Mike Munford.
