Thomas James Fraser (March 20, 1927 – January 6, 1978) was a Scottish fisherman and Country and Western and rhythm and blues musician from Shetland. Fraser was born in on the isle of Burra. He never released any recordings during his lifetime and rarely played live before paying audiences. He made a number of recordings on a reel to reel tape recorder, which family members circulated after his death. In the late 1990s some of these tapes were transferred to CD.
