Bill Callahan - Shepherd In a Sheepskin Vest [CD]

Bill Callahan is back from the pasture with a flock of new tunes for the first time in six years. His roving humanism, looking forward and back at the mythos of everyday life with a hypnotic mixture of wry detachment and deep soul, is just the tonic for all of us starved for words from an old friend. The music is lovely dreamlike Americana stripped to the bone, grabbing moments of life from thin air, as only Bill Callahan can.
