It is the third album in Norman's "trilogy", which began with ''Only Visiting This Planet'' and continued with ''So Long Ago the Garden''. The album contains some of Norman's most well-known work.

Folk Music
Folk music is a music genre that includes traditional folk music and the contemporary genre that evolved from the former during the 20th-century folk revival. Some types of folk music may be called world music. Traditional folk music has been defined in several ways: as music transmitted orally, music with unknown composers, music that is played on traditional instruments, music about cultural or national identity, music that changes between generations (folk process), music associated with a people's folklore, or music performed by custom over a long period of time. It has been contrasted with commercial and classical styles. The term originated in the 19th century, but folk music extends beyond that. Starting in the mid-20th century, a new form of popular folk music evolved from traditional folk music. This process and period is called the (second) folk revival and reached a zenith in the 1960s. This form of music is sometimes called contemporary folk music or folk rev ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Bryan Ferry
Bryan Ferry Order of the British Empire, CBE (born 26 September 1945) is an English singer and songwriter. His voice has been described as an "elegant, seductive croon". He also established a distinctive image and sartorial style: according to ''The Independent'', Ferry and his contemporary David Bowie influenced a generation with both their music and their appearances. Peter York described Ferry as "an art object" who "should hang in the Tate". Born to a working-class family, Ferry studied fine art and taught at a secondary school before pursuing a career in music. In 1970 he began to assemble the rock band Roxy Music with a group of friends and acquaintances in London, and took the role of lead singer and main songwriter. The band achieved immediate international success with the release of their eponymous debut album in 1972, containing a rich multitude of sounds, which reflected Ferry's interest in exploring different genres of music. Their second album, ''For Your Pleasure'' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Re-Make/Re-Model
"Re-Make/Re-Model" is a song written by Bryan Ferry that appears as the opening track on Roxy Music's eponymous debut album. The recording starts with some brief background ambiance of a cocktail party, before launching into the song. Whilst the basic backing track of guitar, acoustic piano, bass guitar, tenor saxophone and drums is relatively straightforward and traditional in form, other elements of the arrangement are quite bizarre and futuristic: Eno plays continual squalls of atonal oscillator noise using Andy MacKay's VCS3 synthesizer, whilst Ferry's lead vocal style is strikingly distraught and anguished in tone. The lead guitar and saxophone solos in the middle of the song also tend to cacophony. In the song, each instrument is allowed a short solo break in turn; the sax mimics the trumpets from Richard Wagner's opera "the Valkyrie" and the bass guitar solo mimics the riff from the Beatles song " Day Tripper". Phil Manzanera's guitar part reverses the usual guitar ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Show Me Your Tears
''Show Me Your Tears'' is the sixth and final studio album to be released to date by Frank Black and the Catholics. Released in September 2003 by SpinART in the United States, US and Cooking Vinyl in the United Kingdom, UK, the album employs a wide range of guests, including piano and an arrangement by Van Dyke Parks on the final track, "Manitoba". Within months of the album's release, it was announced that Black would be participating in a Pixies (band), Pixies reunion, and since that time, the Catholics have effectively been defunct. Recording Black said, "We’d been playing together a long time, ten years of hard touring and loading our own gear and not making a lotta money out of it, and we’re hittin’ the mid-life crisis. And they’re all getting mad at me ‘cause I’m forcing them to record live to two-track for the umpteenth time."

Black Letter Days
''Black Letter Days'' is the first of two albums by Frank Black and the Catholics simultaneously released in 2002 (along with '' Devil's Workshop''). The title implies the opposite of the term "Red Letter Days" which are holidays – a "black letter day" being all the ordinary days in a given month. Background When asked by writer and podcaster Jonathan Ball in 2002 if ''Black Letter Days'' and '' Devil's Workshop'' were meant to be companion pieces or stand-alone albums, Frank Black said, "Either/or, I guess. You can buy one, you can buy both. I made two records this year, so I'm releasing two records." Black added, "It's two different sections, two different lineups, two different producers. So it's sort of out of deference to some of the people involved. I didn't mix and match, I just kind of left them separate." ''Black Letter Days'' is bookended with two covers of the same Tom Waits song, " The Black Rider". Black explained that he and the band started to play the song on ...

Devil's Workshop
''Devil's Workshop'' is the second of a pair of albums by Frank Black and the Catholics to be simultaneously released on August 20, 2002 (along with ''Black Letter Days''). "His Kingly Cave" was originally recorded for an aborted album project in mid-2000 entitled ''Sunday Sunny Mill Valley Groove Day''. "Velvety"'s music comes from an earlier Pixies B-side, appropriately named "Velvety Instrumental Version". The track first received lyrics when it was revived for this album. Background In 2002, Frank Black talked to the Free Williamsburg website about some of the songs on ''Devil's Workshop''. "Velvety" was written by Black as a teenager and was called "Velvety Instrumental Version" because at the time he thought it sounded like the Velvet Underground, "which, of course, it doesn't, in hindsight," he said. "We had started to play it when we were touring on ''Dog in the Sand'', just the instrumental version. It was a loud, open the set, "Hello! We're here!" kind of rave-up. It ...

Dog In The Sand
''Dog in the Sand'' is Frank Black's third album with backing group the Catholics. It was released in 2001 by Cooking Vinyl in Europe and What Are Records? in the United States, and was produced by Nick Vincent. The album was generally met with favorable reviews. Though retaining the live-to-two-track method of recording of the previous two albums, this album found the band branching away from purely electric rock to incorporate acoustic guitar, pedal steel, and Rhodes Piano and Wurlitzer organ into the sonic template. A notable change on the album is the induction of Black's former producer and keyboardist, Eric Drew Feldman, to the Catholics, a veteran of Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band and Pere Ubu. The album also features contributions from Moris Tepper (Captain Beefheart, Tom Waits) and Black's former Pixies bandmate Joey Santiago, as well as guitarist Dave Phillips, who would soon join the Catholics as a full-time member.
