The solo career of Pixies frontman Frank Black (aka Black Francis) is one that has seen its ups and downs in ten years. Black's oeuvre would lend itself to a fantastic compilation CD composed of the ten albums he has made so far. Unfortunately there is always a lot of chaff in between the wheat and his albums are sold in superfluous fillers that have been hastily put together. This problem reached… its provisional peak at Honeycomb. Frank Black was about to start his reunion tour with the Pixies when he went to Nashville to write and record this roots album in five days. In doing so, he made use of musicians he had never played with and who probably had never heard of him. Remarkably, however, these are big names from soul and country history such as Steve Cropper, Buddy Miller and Reggie Young. It is they who save this record from destruction. The pure musical craftsmanship and soul that they put into the music makes up for Honeycomb's lack of thorough preparation. You wonder what became of this CD with really good material. (RPK)more
