Frank Black & The Catholics
Dog in the Sand (What Are)
by Tim Den
You know who he is and, chances are, you listen to one of his old bands and/or bands that’ve been influenced by his work. Recorded live onto two-track, Dog in the Sand is Frank Black (and his backing band for the third straight record, The Catholics) on his continuing quest for the American soul. Not only does he try to squeeze out every drop of Lonesome Cowboy from the pedal steel-drenched, Wurlitzer-soaked country bar tunes, he’s got a frontier desert on the album cover to prove it.
