Ep55: Reid Paley & The Dragon

Season 1, Ep. 55
•

Frank has another story to tell. A true story, about a dragon. 

 

Then he meets one of his musical heroes, Reid Paley. Reid tells Frank about his long and varied musical history, his uncompromising style, his work with the Reid Paley Trio, and his enduring association with Frank Black / Black Francis, including the recording of their collaboration, Paley & Francis.

 

This episode features the Reid Paley Trio songs, Everything’s Going Wrong (& That’s Alright), and The Dark Sky, both taken from the album Approximate Hellhound. More information here: https://reidpaley.bandcamp.com/
