Frank Black wrote "Bullet" on his own, words and music, and it's part of Dog in the Sand, his third album fronting the Catholics, released by Cooking Vinyl in Europe and What Are Records? in America, with Nick Vincent producing. They stuck with the live-to-two-track recording of the first two records, but this time the sound spread out past straight electric rock, letting in acoustic guitar, pedal steel, Rhodes piano and Wurlitzer organ.
The cast grew too. Eric Drew Feldman, Black's former producer and keyboard player, who had also served in Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band and Pere Ubu, was now a Catholic; old Pixies bandmate Joey Santiago and Moris Tepper chipped in, and auxiliary guitarist Dave Phillips, added during rehearsals in Los Angeles, was so good that by Black's account he played on every song.
