Black Letter Days is a truly special work, and should be treated as such. Don't let the best record of the year go overlooked.
-
Dedicated fans will be pleased with the results.
-
As you might expect, the sheer number of tracks means there's a sizeable dollop of filler.
-
Sure, there's some filler here and there but it's far from a Frank Black B-sides collection.
-
Black Letter Days evokes an early-Seventies Stones bootleg -- a little bit country, a little bit rock & roll - minus the danger.
-
Arguably, some prudent pruning might've made the album great instead of good, but even the album's uneven moments are still pretty enjoyable.
-
The tossed-off quality of his recent work may be liberating to Black, but it's not likely to be so satisfying to his audience.
