Round, Round with Frank Ludwig
Frank Ludwig is one of Canadian rock’s most versatile and underrated architects—a gifted keyboardist, vocalist, and songwriter whose career spans garage beginnings, platinum radio hits, and quietly profound studio work. This playlist traces his musical path from the psychedelic flair of Richmond’s Self Portrait, through theatrical turns with Brutus, to his defining years in Trooper—where he penned and sang hits like “Round, Round We Go,” “Back to You,” and “Quiet Desperation.” It also highlights his later work with Ironhorse, Union, and Body Electric, revealing the depth of a craftsman equally at home on stage and behind the console.
