New sonic impulses…

28 July 2020

Last month American singer-songwriter and compelling storyteller BILL CALLAHAN announced his new album GOLD RECORD, only 12 months after his double LP Shepherd In A Sheepskin Vest. Simultaneously he promised to drop one new song every week, until the longplayer comes out, on 4th September. And he kept his promise, so far. He gave us already four tracks: ‘Pigeons’,’Another Song’, ’35’, and ‘Protest Song.‘ (you can stream them all below via the Bandcamp-link).

The troubadour now shared a fifth composition. ‘THE MACKENZIES’ is a typical Callahan musing. It’s about meeting his neighbors for the first time after a car problem and about lost father-son relationships. The way he tells/sings the story with that arresting voice of him is pretty special. Yes, a riveting pearl!
