Dog in the Sand by Frank Black & The Catholics
Dog in the Sand is an album by Frank Black & The Catholics, released in 2000. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 15 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Bullet”, on 15 lists with a best position of #7.
Dog in the Sand, Frank Black's third album with the Catholics, came out through Cooking Vinyl in Europe and What Are Records? in the States, with Nick Vincent producing. The band kept the live-to-two-track recording method of the previous two records, but this time the palette widened: acoustic guitar, pedal steel, Rhodes piano and Wurlitzer organ creep in around the electric crunch.
There's new blood, too. Eric Drew Feldman, Black's old producer and keyboardist and a veteran of Captain Beefheart's Magic Band and Pere Ubu, joined the Catholics; former Pixies bandmate Joey Santiago and Beefheart alum Moris Tepper sat in; and auxiliary guitarist Dave Philips, added during two weeks of rehearsal in Los Angeles, ended up on every song. Black sings in the steadier, more melodic style of his solo years, and "Bullet" became the album's radio calling card. Reviews were mostly kind.
