For starters in reference to the album a small quote from the cooking vinyl website
"It was wonderful to have these incredible musicians poking fun at my non-Nashville chord progressions," said Black. "And then give me a wink after a take to let me know that they approved and enjoyed it. I was so lucky to have them playing on this album."

Sorry to say, the best I can do is sometime in 2005.
Also:
Frank in Uncut sometime in 05 on whether the HC musicians knew anything about him:
"David Hood has a son who plays in the Drive-By Truckers, so I think he knew something. And Cropper checked in with somebody and said, 'Who is this guy?' If they’d known they probably wouldn’t have said anything. In a way it made me feel more confident that I had a Pixies tour to do, like I wasn’t just a kid and these guys had played with Elvis or whatever."

Not sure where to post this, Tre, so I thought this general HC db thread was as good a place as any.
Frank in Mojo on "Dark End of the Street":
"Well, I wasn't familiar with all these other versions. I know Gram Parsons' version and I'd mentioned it to the producer, you know, 'If we have enough time...' and at the session I'm with the engineer who wrote it! So when the producer says 'Dark End of the Street' I go 'I'm not ready to do that man.' Dan was like, 'It's cool, we'll lay it down for you and you sing it later.' And he went in and sang it and it was like, smokin', and then he says 'Let's stop fucking around, let's play a real version!' And then he sang the most haunting version of it. How can I follow that? I stayed up in my hotel bathroom all night, singing that song all over, trying to find my voice. The next day Dan was like, 'OK, I'm going to go upstairs and take a nap.' Which meant, have some time with the song away from him. We cut it and then he came down a little later, toothpick in his mouth, gave me a little look... 'You're OK, kid'."
Also, on "Dark End of the Street" in The Clash:
"Not to be hokey but the song had some emotional thing going on for me when I rediscovered it. I was listening to it a lot in the car (a few years ago). There was a lot of shit going on in my life at the time. i can be a very non-emotional person; I'm not too nostalgic, not too precious, but even someone like that can eventually be rocked enough that suddenly things on the radio seem like the soundtrack to your life, making all these association. I went through a divorce; I moved from LA to Oregon, you know, that was kind of a big deal for me."

We're having a few problems behind the scenes with some of the db stuff which is why I've not been able to update the bios at least temporarily and why we've not been able to add these into the db. I'm looking at starting an offsite article DB for FB as a wiki and I'll keep you posted.
