Review

Alternative Press (p.150) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Callahan's dark baritone, rich with observational languor, echoes classic wordsmiths like Leonard Cohen and Lee Hazlewood while retaining the micro-operatic immediacy that's been his career trademark."
The Wire (p.49) - "[A]n invaluable addition to his prolific discography, which continues to subtly evolve without ever quite tracing the same steps..."
CMJ (p.4) - "Mr. Callahan has reclaimed his real name, found true love and crafted a beautiful, simple record flush with all the forthright honesty and inviting ambiance of a campfire sing-along."

Title Note

Personnel: Bill Callahan (guitar); Pete Denton (guitar); Howard Draper (Farfisa); Steve Bernal (bass guitar); Thor Harris (drums); Elizabeth Warren, Deani Pugh-Flemmings (background vocals).

When the '90s lo-fi revolution was in full swing, Bill Callahan was its Leonard Cohen, turning out dark ballads under the nom de plume of Smog. WOKE ON A WHALEHEART finds Callahan stepping out from behind his alias for the first time. Accordingly, there's an increased sense of directness here, although the arrangements don't stray too far from the Smog style (casual acoustic and electric strumming; gentle, loping rhythms). There's also a greater feeling of emotional ease, if not contentedness. Whether or not this comes from his romantic involvement with neo-folk pixie Joanna Newsom, it adds an intriguing new chapter to the Callahan/Smog story.
