Bill Callahan - Sometimes I Wish We Were An Eagle
The recording is fantastic. It’s like Callahan has finally left the lo-fi bugaboo behind and tried to make an album that just sounds great. Here’s a link with some stuff about the recording:
Bill Callahan - Progress Report - Stereogum
The songs are good, a significant return to form after the last one. I haven’t been blown away by them yet, but Smog Knock Knock sat on the shelf for a while before I discovered it.
Starts with a classical guitar, similar to a River Ain’t Too Much to Love - perhaps a conscious reference, given the kind of repudiation of the last album’s themes/sounds.
