It is constantly shown as "Frank Black records for the first time with these Nashville cats." And that, for the most part is true. HOWEVER There are commercially available recordings of Steve Cropper with Frank Black ("Breakthless" on the Otis Blackwell tribute) and with FB playing with Spooner Oldham (both tracks on the Arthur Alexander tribute), both of which also mark collaborations with Jon Tiven. Mr. Tiven is always credited with having a working relationship w/ FB before the record, which is true, but Mr. Oldham and Mr. Cropper are usually presented as having just met FB during these sessions, which leads me to 2 conclusions: 1) Either FB's vocals were not recorded with either performer on the JT-produced tribute albums and therefore they never actually met/played togehter or 2) For reasons either journalisticly subpar or just general forgetfulness, this has not been brought forward. I don't feel like FB and co would have any reason to hide this, so perhaps this is just lackluster reporting. If Mr. Tiven is around, could you shed some light on this subject? -Brian If you move I shoots! [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature.
