Frank Black To Release New Solo Album
by Staff | 05.11.2006

Cuddly Pixies front-man Frank Black has a new double album of goodness for us. Fast Man Raider Man will be released on 19th of June on Cooking Vinyl.

After pairing up with the cream of Nashville's session for his previous release, Honeycomb, Black is enlisting more unusual cohorts including Levon Helm from The Band, Tom Petersson from Cheap Trick, Heartbreaker drummer Steve Ferrone, the legendary Al Kooper, honky-tonk hero Marty Brown, songwriting enigma P.F. Sloan, and Simon Kirke from Bad Company and Free, as well as Honeycomb returnees Steve Cropper, Reggie Young, Buddy Miller, Spooner Oldman and Chester Thompson.

If you’d like to hear a little, Frank has a stream of “If Your Poison Gets You” available on his Myspace.

He's not that cuddly. I've heard his weird shrieking noises on Pixies albums. Such mean reporters. We're talking about a musician and the very first word of the release relates to his weight. He's not an actress, so who cares?!

can't wait for this. i loved his first solo cd. *heading to myspace*

Franky baby!
Woo!

cool. I don't think I have gotten anything by him since Teenager of the Year. I was a young lad then.
