À propos de cet épisode

Some reflections on the authenticity that runs like a rich seam of truth in Bill Callahan's songs. How does he do it?


  • 'When It Shows' - an old attempt at song-writing by yours truly
  • 'Say Valley Maker' (live) - from Rough Travel for a Rare Thing (2010) by Bill Callahan
  • 'Jim Cain' - from Sometimes I wish We Were An Eagle (2009) by Bill Callahan
  • 'Cowboy' - from Gold Record (2020) by Bill Callahan


With huge thanks to Bill Callahan and Drag City Records for permission to use clips from the songs for this audio essay. :)
