    He's discovered a mellow maturity in Southern soul - and without losing his punk rock perversity or poetry.
  2. Entertainment Weekly

    Black's take on Southern soul: spare, graceful, in the pocket, with Black himself sounding reborn and relaxed. [22 Jul 2005, p.78]

  3. Under The Radar

    The tension of is-this-a-joke-or-serious is perhaps the largest aspect of the album's subtle, growing charm. [#10, p.105]

    I was a huge Pixies fan back in the day but I hadn't really got into Frank Black's solo stuff until I recently bought Bluefinger, Dog in the Sand and Honeycomb practically at the same time... I'm a big fan again!… Expand

    Nothing bad...just nothing really exciting, either. Sort of jazz-like, which I wasn't really expecting.
