Ballard injured falling from stage
Thursday, February 12, 2015 – Frankie Ballard injured himself last Friday after falling off the stage during a Texas concert, but that did not stop him from staying on the road.
While performing at the Humble Rodeo and BBQ Cook-Off in Humble, Texas on Friday night, Ballard "got hung up jumping off the stage to engage with the packed crowd," according to his web site.
He kept playing and finished out the last two songs of his set with a separated shoulder, a few mangled ligaments and an injured rib. Ballard said he is "still kickin' like a mule" and "it'll take a lot more than that to keep me from rockin'!"
On Monday, Ballard posted on Twitter, "I miss playin' guitar..." with a photo of himself with a sad face.
He performed the following night in Mission, Texas, and no upcoming shows have been cancelled at this time.

CD reviews for Frankie Ballard

Perhaps most telling inclusion of all, however, is Ballard's cover of Bob Seger's love song, "You'll Accomp'ny Me." Much like Seger before him, Ballard ...
Upon first glance at the track list of Frankie Ballard's sophomore release, "Sunshine and Whiskey" you might think you're in for 40 minutes of upbeat party anthems. Nearly half the songs have unsubtle titles like "Drinky Drink," "Sober Me Up" and the standard, "Don't tell Mama I Was Drinking." But behind some of the clichéd titles are deeper themes including introspection, death and regret.
"It Don't Take Much" is autobiographical. ...
As country music's latest "triple threat" (singer/songwriter/guitarist), Michigan native Frankie Ballard puts a blues/soul spin on his country music, and that resulted in a video hit with Tell Me You Get Lonely. While his major-label debut EP does play to his strengths on some songs, all too often he ends up getting lost in the already-crowded batch of new wannabe country stars.
