Honest kind of artisan made records (5,7)
I believe the answer is:
frank sinatra
'records' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'honest kind of artisan' is the wordplay.
'honest' becomes 'frank' (similar in meaning).
'kind of' is an anagram indicator.
'artisan' with letters rearranged gives 'sinatra'.
'frank'+'sinatra'='FRANK SINATRA'
'made' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for frank sinatra that I've seen is " entertainer".)
