Before Nightfall, the second album from Los Angeles singer-songwriter Robert Francis, came out on Atlantic on October 9, 2009, his first record for a major label after his debut One By One. Dave Sardy produced it, and Francis himself said darkness ran through the whole thing as a central theme.
It's folk rock with dusk falling over it, carried by his raspy, bright-edged baritone. "Junebug" was the lead single and the one that stuck: it became a top-ten airplay hit across Europe in 2010. "Keep On Running" followed, and both got videos.
