Prick Tunes: Bill Callahan NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

I wish I could do this every Friday. Unfortunately, I would run through the ones I love far too quickly.

Bill Callahan, formerly known as Smog, stopped in at the NPR studio in July of 2009 on the heels of the release of the spectacular Sometimes I Wish We Were An Eagle in April of that year. Here he plays "Jim Cain," "Rococo Zephyr," and "Too Many Birds," all of which can be found on that album. There is just something about Callahan--that something definitely seems to be rooted in his unique vocal stylings--that I never get my fill of.

Prick Tunes: Bill Callahan "Riding for the Feeling"

Sorry, this is a little late. It occurs to me that Bill Callahan hasn't been properly represented in this space. This definitely doesn't jive with how much I actually listen to him, which is a ton. In the past decade, there may not be an album I've listened to more than the final Smog album, A River Ain't Too Much To Love. Apocalypse, his newest album is also great and features this song.
