Callahan, Bill: Sometimes I Wish Were an Eagle LP

Originally issued on Drag City in 2009, Sometimes I Wish We Were An Eagle is the second album from Bill Callahan, who previously rocked the world under his pseudonym Smog. The handsome 9-track set grows organically over a diverse bunch of sounds by top-notch players and charming arrangements from Brian Beattie which perfectly highlight Callahan's rumbling voice. Singing as personal as ever while still spinning wild yarns and melodic guitar fictions, with his second outing under his own name Bill Callahan was on an idyll that one hopes will never end.
