Thomas James Fraser (20 March 1927 – 6 January 1978) was a Scottish fisherman and Country and Western and rhythm and blues musician from Shetland.

In 2002 Nel Records put out a small pressing of Long Gone Lonesome Blues a selection of some of the original tapes.

Two more CDs followed (You & My Old Guitar (2003) and Treasure Untold (2005)), and a yearly Thomas Fraser memorial festival was begun in Shetland in 2002.

The following month, BBC Scotland aired a 30-minute documentary on the life of Thomas Fraser entitled Shetland Lone Star.

A DVD featuring this programme and highlights of the annual Thomas Fraser Festival was released in October 2009.
