Frank Black at Southpaw
Frank Black played two sets at Southpaw Saturday. I was at the second one. He is such a prolific songwriter; with 12 solo albums (and those six he did with the pixies), I was hearing a few of those songs for the first time. Still he did play some of my favorites. The last time I saw Frank was with the Pixies in gigantic arena, so it was great to see him at Southpaw. More thoughts and a set list over at Product Shop.
