With lyrics such as, "it's time to put God away" on 'Faith Void', the final track from his excellent latest album Sometimes I Wish We Were An Eagle, a church was perhaps a questionable choice of venue to see Bill Callahan.

In 2007, Bill Callahan, contemplative folkster, shifted away from his dark moniker of 10 years (Smog) to his given name (Bill), and with that shift resolved positivity. At nearly the same time, financial institutions around the world began to crumble. Callahan's new album, Sometimes I Wish We Were an Eagle is coming out April 14 on Drag City, and we are all fairly sure by then the world will be...

Check it out. I became curious about this album when the British rock magazine Mojo gave this 5 stars and called it an instant classic. Not something they do very often. I would Give it 4.5 stars. Very interesting lyrics. The album really draws me in. There is also a feature on him on the NPR website.

As if in an attempt to gain the attributes of the album’s namesake bird, the songs on Eagle feel like they’re rising on thermals, shifting and soaring effortlessly where the wind takes them. And occasionally they dive right for your throat.

So it's Monday night, and I've spent the evening with Smog. Well, he's not Smog anymore. Or (smog). He's Bill Callahan, and he's not happy.It's the lighting, you see. The lights are wrong. He's in the UK promoting his new album, Woke On A Whaleheart, and came to Manchester via a set at ATP Festival. His band for this tour consisted of a hot young keyboard player, a very talented and exceptional...
