Midwestern folk singer Frank Schweikhardt’s album Life But No More is simply an album that exists. It adds nothing to the genre. Each and every one of the album’s 39 minutes sounds exactly alike with the same monotone vocals piled on over the same strummed chords with nearly the same tempo for the entire record. “Silver and Gold” is a respectable track, but overall it all just sounds the same. It’s as if some producer told him to just roll tape and Schweikhardt ran out of ideas after 10 minutes. Unless you have an obsession with tepid folk singers, take a pass on this album.
