There are stretches of every year( maybe 2 days. ,maybe two weeks) that seemingly Bill Callahan/Smog will be all I listen to. This year was no exception. His excellent " Sometimes I Wish I Were An Eagle" record was the soundtrack to more than one contemplative night over here. And on this great record, I think this is the song I listened to the most.

Another day, another song from that Kath Bloom tribute
This album is so great...it warrants ONE more post. This one is from Bill Callahan...so perfect for this grayish day.

The artist formerly known as Smog is back with another album. Bill Callahan's latest 'Sometimes I Wish We Were An Eagle' offers up nine more songs of his trademark dark folk. I dare say this record almost sound hopeful though...with several songs featuring beautiful string accompaniment and lyrics which are even a little more optimistic. Hopeful by Bill Callahan standards anyway...whatever it is, it's a gorgeous album.
The record hits stores on April 14th...here is a track to preview. Enjoy.

I have loved about everything Bill Callahan has released, either under his own name or under the pseudonym 'Smog'. And of all of his records, 'Knock Knock' is by far my favorite. Such a beautiful record. I still try and spin it as often as I can...one of the finer rainy day records you will ever hear.
