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 tour ...
