Black, "Honeycomb" returnees Steve Cropper, Reggie Young, Spooner Oldham, Anton Fig, Chester Thompson, and David Hood, were joined by Levon Helm, Al Kooper, Ian McLagan, Cheap Trick's Tom Peterson, Simon Kirke from Bad Company, Lyle Workman, Marty Brown and Jack Clement - just to name a few - to record some twenty-five new songs, most of them Frank Black originals. The sessions took place in Nashville, first in October of last year, and most recently last month when Black was in Nashville for the Americana Awards. Still untitled, no release date has been set, but the new collection should be finished and available in 2006.

According to producer Tiven, "The new tunes are much different in many ways than those on 'Honeycomb.' 'Honeycomb' was subdued, almost mellow, whereas more up tempo, rock tracks were recorded this time." The subject matter on the new album is also different from that on "Honeycomb's" 14 tracks. While "Honeycomb" dealt with recent autobiographical topics, on the new album, Black explores many different areas of his life including his early days in Massachusetts. "Until we decide how many and what tracks will make it onto the new album," Tiven added," "we won't know for sure what the musical direction will be. But it's going to be great."
