BILL CALLAHAN Woke On A Whaleheart (2007 UK 9-track vinyl LP - This self-titled debut album from the voice of Smog boasts the propulsive, glittering and classically pretty arrangements of Neil Michael Hagerty, and manages to bypass the trendsof the modern day while shunning retro entrapments; featuring a mix of gospel backing vocals by Deani Pugh-Flemmings [Olivet Baptist Church], the incediary guitar work of Pete Denton, and the honeyed violins of Elizabeth Warren, the music on this album touches on gospel, tough pop & American Light Opera. The sleeve and vinyl remain in Excellent condition with minor signs of wear evident but nothing too excessive DC332)
