Title:	Knock Knock
Label:	DRAG CITY
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.50
Catalog #:	DC 161CD

"The only thing familiar about Knock Knock is the now familiar Smog sensation of being somehow completely unfamiliar! At this point in his illustrious career, there certain styles he feels comfortable with. But who'd've guessed that super-sexy space cowboy would be one of them? Several ballads on Knock Knock are of the spirit of Bill Callahan...a record with a divide of hard and soft ones, a record with a torn curtain inviting you to look inside. It is a real-life opera, a story told in song -- the story of a kid named Smog. A real tour de force."

Title:	Dongs Of Sevotion
Label:	DRAG CITY
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.00
Catalog #:	DC 169CD

"Sensual to the extreme, from its opening tango to the very last waltz. It's classic entertainment, dipping its little beak into every kind of pop you can imagine. Like mostly the kind that hasn't really been heard yet, you know? Of course, Dongs, as we call it around the Mensa's room, wouldn't be a a classic without the best of the 70s, 80s, and 90s on display, so of course, they are. Not that we can tell. As the man says, if you can remember the 70s, 80s, and 90s, you weren't really there. And we definitely weren't."

Title:	Rain On Lens
Label:	DRAG CITY
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.50
Catalog #:	DC 187CD

"Making a trip to see an old friend and all they can talk about is how they never see you because you never come to where they are although you are there right then and then you talk to them after you've left and they tell you they wish they'd just enjoyed themselves while you were there and when are you coming again? You'll notice in the text of this LP that Smog is now (Smog). Note to self. The uninitiated listeners will hear this LP as a greatest hits package, sending them scurrying to find the record that each song is from. Note to self: They're all from Rain on Lens by (Smog)."

Title:	Accumulation: None
Label:	DRAG CITY
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.00
Catalog #:	DC 200CD

"Accumulation: None is your (Smog) singles compilation. Actually, truth be told, only ten of the twelve songs on Accumulation: None have appeared on 7" vinyl. It wouldn't be a proper singles collection without single sides plus other perks in store for you -- which is why there are other perks in store for you when you acquire Accumulation: None for your personal collection of singles collections. For instance, six of the songs have never been released in the United States. Two of the songs were broadcast on the radio, then released as b-sides. And this in faraway England -- a virtual wasteland!"

Title:	Supper
Label:	DRAG CITY
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	DC 235CD

"Slipping and gliding, your hero has returned. (Smog) is back in the building. With him is his newest record. But he?s not going to sing it for you, no. Instead, he's going to play it for you. And so, with a press of a button the new (Smog) album, Supper. Supper will strike some of you as easy-listening (Smog) which is simply proof that you (Smog) fans out there have hardened over the years. Sure, Supper features soft steel guitars, female harmony vocals, fluttering guitars, a sentimental ode to 'Our Anniversary', and more heart-warming things packed into its 43 plus minutes, but honestly it's still (Smog), isn't it? That means sharp observations, a steady stream of humorous spectres, discomfiting intimacy and other heart-warming things packed into nine melody-filled tunes."

Title:	A River Ain't Too Much To Love
Label:	DRAG CITY
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.50
Catalog #:	DC 292CD

"A River Ain't Too Much To Love was recorded at Pedernales in Spicewood, Texas. That's Willie Nelson's place. There is a feeling these songs give you that you haven't had since the days when music was your impetus. A River Ain't Too Much To Love is as raw and direct as a Sun session and as warm and assured as the early seventies. Majestic, monolithic and agile at the same time, this is an album not of lost wandering but of determined migration. The natural urge that was buried in Humankind once the Pines were felled and the Rivers damned."
