Fast Man Raider Man

Twenty-seven tracks of warm, Nashville-soaked rock and soul. A sprawling double album that trades jagged screams for weathered, barroom wisdom.

It's like Frank Black decided to become a soul singer in a Nashville bar and actually pulled it off.

A weary, soulful contentment that feels like watching the sun set over a familiar landscape.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The soulful horn section and steady groove that anchors the title track Fast Man

The weary but beautiful vocal delivery on the cover of Dirty Old Town

The way the pedal steel weeps behind the piano on the sprawling Sad Old World
