Artist:	CALLAHAN, BILL
Title:	Woke On A Whaleheart
Label:	DRAG CITY
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.50
Catalog #:	DC 332CD

"You could say this is Bill Callahan's debut album. Although he's sired a dozen albums under the name of Smog, he has laid that name to rest and, well, Woke on a Whaleheart. Another debut. With the same maverick spirit of, say, a Nilsson or a Cat Stevens, Bill Callahan has made an album that is born of no school of music other than what is in his heart and soul. Boasting the propulsive, glittering and classically pretty arrangements of Neil Michael Hagerty, this album manages to bypass the trends of the modern day while shunning retro entrapments. With a mix of gospel backing vocals by Deani Pugh-Flemmings of the Olivet Baptist Church, the incendiary guitar work of Pete Denton, and the honeyed violins of Elizabeth Warren, the music on this album touches on gospel, tough pop and American Light Opera."

Title:	Diamond Dancer
Label:	DRAG CITY
Format:	CD
Price:	$5.50
Catalog #:	DC 335CD

"Bill Callahan is the man who used to record under the name Smog. Now he is Bill Callahan. He cut an album with Neil Michael Hagerty co-producing and arranging all the songs last. Bill decided to give people a head's up and a taste of what's to come by releasing a single from the album with an exclusive B-side that comes from the same sessions but won't be on the album. 'Diamond Dancer' is the story of a young lady having an epiphany on the dance floor while dancing alone. 'Dancing all by herself and not minding,' as the song says."
