Bill Callahan

Somewhere between the psych-tinged country drawl of Lee Hazlewood and the spirited and vast mountain and valley folk music of America lies one Bill Callahan.  Having made music for decades (previously under the moniker of Smog), Callahan has perfected his songcraft into one of introspective lyrics, often taking an almost mournful tone due to his vocal cadences, but all the while retaining a sense of humor.  New album "Dream River" finds the man completely comfortable with himself and his surroundings, his warm vocals like an old friend you've missed for years.  Listen to "The Sing" below and grab the album from Drag City.

"Beer and thank you."
