Can someone out there, with an encyclopedic knowledge of all things Frank Black, give me (or point me in the direction of) all songs he's covered from Pixies days to Current and who originally wrote them, please? Cheers!

OK, I added where you can find all these songs on the list. Shouldn't that go into the FAQ?

Didn´t know he has covered The Specials!
Which F.B. album is it?
The more I know about Frank Black, the more I admire Him!

Is it "Black Rider" or "The Black Rider"? Anyway, it's there.

vilainde - Thank you SO much!
I'm slightly surprised by some songs not being covers though (Baby, That's Art, Village of the Sun, Man of Steel...), I've not given Frank enough credit in the past.

Born in Chicago is a Paul Butterfield Blues Band song.
Theme From Narc is the theme of an old videogame.
I'm guessing that Snake Oil is a cover of the Steve Earle song...
