"Black Book" is a song by Rank and File, featured on the album Rank and File in 1987. It appeared in the Miami Vice episode "Amen... Send Money".

Notes[]

  • This was Rank and File's last album. Chip and Tony Kinman formed a new project band, Blackbird, in 1988.
  • In the episode, the video for the song is playing on a TV in a bar where Crockett and Tubbs are discussing their case. After Crockett asks for the channel to be changed, other customers complain. Crockett growls, "We'll get back to you headbangers in a second!" (Sonny's tastes run to traditional country and Southern rock.) Indeed, the album's hard-rock approach was a departure from Rank and File's first two records, which were in the "cowpunk" style. Crockett might have liked them a bit more.
