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!

But that's so much effort! ;) But cheers... can't access the actual site through my servers at work though, but that'll give me a task for this evening. Appreciated.

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...

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.

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

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

BTW, Do Nothing is one of Frank's best covers IMO. You should definitely try to find the Dog Gone ep, rita.
