	Splendid: Features: Frank Black
		Going to a Frank Black concert a couple of years ago was one of the peak experiences of my life.
		Frank Black: Yeah, I think that's pretty common; there are guys who have been doing it for a while, who are on indie labels.
		Frank Black: Yeah, I was going to leave them out, but my wife said that a lot of the fans like it, so I'd better leave it in there.

	Frank Black - Music Downloads - Online
		Bio: Inverting his stage name from Black Francis to Frank Black, the former Pixies lead singer/songwriter embarked on a solo career after he broke up the band in early 1993; actually, he began recording his solo album before he told the band the news.
		Black's second album, 1994's Teenager of the Year, was a sprawling and diverse album that amplified all the best points of Frank Black.
		That fall, Frank Black Francis, a double-disc set of early Pixies demos and reinterpretations of Pixies songs by Black and the Two Pale Boys, arrived in the midst of all this activity.

	Frank Black Album Reviews
		No, nothing like that: you pull a Frank Black (or a Black Francis – which is how he was called before) and you write history by announcing the band’s break-up on BBC’s Radio 5.
		Frank Black was very much anticipated, but it became clear very soon that the fans were in for a vastly different ride this time.
		It should’ve been trimmed a bit (obviously Black himself thought otherwise – witness the second album) and it needs a few more stunners to be regarded as a classic, but Frank Black’s best moments proove there was an afterlife for the man who’d stop playing a leading role, while never succumbing to pap either.

	Frank Black: Fast Man Raider Man (2006): Reviews
		Black's voice is less interesting when he's not going postal with the Pixies; here he delivers dark visions wanly, with a nod to Nick Cave and a saving touch of camp.
		only fans of frank fl's way with a song...i guess thats why comments based completely on his ability to perform this kind of material are moot...to me at least.
		Black has evolved from a rock historian to a music historian and he delves into a multitude of American styles on this record and nearly masters all of them.

	Frank Black: Fast Man Raider Man: Pitchfork Record Review
		Frank Black has entered his Royalty Phase, the part of his career where, having carried his weight as an innovator, he tours the world playing his old band's greatest hits and hangs out with fellow royalty like Steve Cropper, Spooner Oldham, P.F. Sloan, and Levon Helm.
		Black's duet with country singer Marty Brown on a cover of Ewan MacColl's "Dirty Old Town" is one of those, and here you get the feel of skilled musicians having their way with an old chestnut.
		Frank Black has earned the right to do whatever the hell he wants, and he unfortunately seems to...

	Frank's Reel Movie Reviews - Black Hawk Down
		Black Hawk Down is the story of one of the most successful military encounters in United States history.
		Black Hawk Down is not about world events, it's not about Somalia and it's not about a country ravaged by famine and starvation.
		Black Hawk Down is about the courage and bravery displayed by 100 young men who were placed in an unwinnable situation, yet fought for their lives and emerged victorious if only in their own eyes.

		"Frank Black and the Catholics," with a couple of noteworthy exceptions, is the same ole Frank Black, still wailing away in his garage.
		Black might have ditched the aliens for this album, but he can't seem to stay grounded.
		Black somehow fits the lines, "Let me tell what I would do/ I'd consider the possibility of a mistake/ Yeah if I were you/ I would give me a break," into roughly ten seconds of the song.

	Amazon.com: Fast Man Raider Man: Music: Frank Black (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Frank returns to the wonderful world of Honeycomb with some of the best musicians to ever lay tracks to wax, and the result is arguably even better.
		Like many of Frank Black Francis' compositions, I was lukewarm on this album at first, particularly since I thought the double album was gratuitous, even for this incredibly prolific man. Now that I have given it a few listens, though, I have to say I love it (like almost all his compositions).
		Frank Black is really quite brilliant, an amazing talent who should always be surrounded by some of the best musicians in an environment that is conducive to bringing out his best.

	Frank Black: Honeycomb (2005): Reviews
		Black's take on Southern soul: spare, graceful, in the pocket, with Black himself sounding reborn and relaxed.
		It will surely be remembered as perhaps the greatest Frank Black LP (to date, at least) and perhaps even as the record that made it cool to like country again.
		Honeycomb is steeped in tradition, yet manages to buck it at the same time; while not all Pixies and Frank Black fans will appreciate its mellow maturity, it's an intimate treat for those who follow its lead.

		Also, John Flansburgh directed two of his music videos ("Los Angeles" and a cover of "Hang On to Your Ego") which are both songs on the "Frank Black" album.
		It should also be mentioned there is a Frank Black instrumental from his 3rd album, Cult of Ray, called "Mosh, Don't Pass the Guy." Frank has said in concert the title of this song came from John Flansburgh.

		Frank Black gilt nicht als besonders öffentlichkeitswirksamer Rockstar, ist jedoch unter Musikern enorm angesehen.
		Black's erste beiden Werke "Frank Black" und "Teenager Of The Year" sind auf jeden Fall ein Beweis für sein Talent: Vom Reggae bis zu mexikanischer Folklore bleibt nichts außen vor.
		Black veröffentlichte (ohne Band) 2004 die Doppel-CD "Frank Black Francis", die Demo- und Alternativversionen früher Pixies-Titel enthält. Ob es jemals einen Nachfolger für "Trompe Le Monde" (die letzte LP der Pixies) geben wird, lässt Black offen.

	Frank Black - Fastman Raiderman (Album Review)
		Featuring 27 tracks spread across two discs, it’s safe to say that Frank Black’s Fastman Raiderman contains a little something for everyone save for those fans of the Pixies who have been perplexed by the myriad of avenues that he has pursued since embarking upon a solo career in 1993.
		Right from the start, with the beatnik groove and Van Morrison-esque chorus of If Your Poison Gets You, it’s clear in which direction Black is headed, and the bulk of the album is kissed as much by the sad-eyed wistfulness of country as it is by the radiant passion of southern soul.
		Yet, for all of the distinctive textures that Black employs — and, ambitiously, the full range of the Americana spectrum is represented — each of the endeavor’s two distinctive segments inevitably becomes a tad too monochromatic for the outing to function as a whole.

		I first saw Frank Black as Black Francis with the Pixies opening for the soon to be irrelevant Love and Rockets in 1989.
		Black has also stripped down his sound, playing back-to-basics rock, recorded live into a two-track or mono recorder.
		Freshly cleaned, Black spoke in a friendly, amused voice, very calmly, even when cursing his critics or delving deeply into the neurotic obsessions of the songwriting process, laughing often.

	Frank X Walker - Affrilachian Poet, Educator, Author of Black Box, Buffalo Dance: the Journey of York, and Affrilachia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The spirit of a child runs through the poetry of Frank X Walker's latest collection, "Black Box." Walker's virtual absence of punctuation replicates the feeling of memory swirling in incomplete images and patterns, although each episode is fully realized.
		Thus a young, rural fl boy recalls his parents, grandparents and ancestors who originally settled the land, built the rock walls and dug in the coal mines.
		Now Frank X Walker, the Danville native who coined the term "Affrilachian" for Appalachian residents of African descent, has a new book — Black Box (Old Cove Press, $15.50) — and recently received a literary fellowship from the esteemed Lannan Foundation.

		The record (self-titled) features 11 raw new Frank Black songs and a raucous cover of Larry Norman's "Six Sixty-Six." "We recorded the tape over three days, and since it was only meant to be a demo, we cut it old-school, live to 2-track.

		"Black Letter Days" and "Devil's Workshop." According to Frank, he'll never go back to multi-tracking again, as this method frees him up to "just play the song the way it was meant to be played and heard".

		Frank had to enlist extra players to create the songs completely in a single take, and it pays off in musical texture and depth.
		After being merely satisfied with the last few Frank Black discs, I was thrilled with the quality and strength of Dog in the Sand.

		Brown's contribution may be the most evident as he shares the vocals with Black on a cover of "Dirty Old Town", which is a rousing highlight early in the first disc.
		It has been evident from the early days of the Pixies that Black was a rock scholar, infusing his music with everything from surf guitars, metal vocals and Peter, Paul and Mary melodies.
		Black may be rock and roll's last historian, someone who is creating viable music in the twenty-first century but is able to look back farther than what was popular when he was a teenager.

		Former head honcho of the influential Pixies, Frank Black has experienced hit-and-miss success since breaking up his old band in 1993.
		Though prolific in terms of his overall solo output, Black has yet to surpass expectations thrust upon him at the outset of his solo career.
		That's not to slag the quality of his post-Pixies material, however -- Black has concocted some of the most criminally underappreciated, guitar-spiked alt-rock of the '90s, often lacing his songs with sneaky hooks and odd tempo changes here and there to keep the indie crowd on its toes.

		Having shaped modern music in immeasurable ways as front man for the Pixies, it is easy to forget that Frank Black unleashes equally visceral and compelling rock with his other longtime band, the Catholics.

		According to Frank, he'll never go back to multi-tracking again, as this method frees him up to "just play the song the way it was meant to be played and heard".

	Frank Black Francis, Frank Black Francis: Album Review : Soul Shine Magazine
		Black explains that the re-recording of Pixies songs was done to compliment the Pixies demos included on the first half of the album — bad quality recording vs. good, his 22-year-old self vs. his 38-year-old self.
		While it’s interesting to see where Black takes Pixies songs when left to his own devices, it’s also a little scary, because as he says in the liner notes, he’s “messing with the gospel”.
		Basically if the whole Frank Black Francis persona concept remains a mystery, then this album is not for you; on the other hand, if you scoffed when Charles Michael Kitridge Thompson IV was shortened to Charles Thompson, knock yourself out.

		Because of the array of guitars and synthesizers, Frank's debut album is probably the one album that best expresses his deep imagination and beliefs.
		Frank replaces the axiom "write what you know" with "write what you DREAM", and this is what puts his songs' starting points several yards ahead (and to the left) of the average songwriter.
