 6-15\n\nBill Callahan\, who recorded and performed for almost 20 years und
 er the name Smog\, comes to Boston in support of the second Bill Callahan 
 album\, Sometimes I Wish We Were an Eagle\, released in April 2009 by Drag
  City.  As Smog\, Callahan was a pioneer of the lo-fi recording revolution
 \, releasing volumes of home-recorded\, four-track cassettes in the late 8
 0s. He signed to legendary Chicago indie label Drag City in 1991\, and wit
 h the release of the seminal Forgotten Foundation in 1992\, moved toward m
 ore 'professional' sounding records\, with broader instrumentation and imp
 roved sound quality.  He has collaborated with Jim O'Rourke\, John McEntir
 e (Tortoise)\, and Joanna Newsom\, and is often mentioned in the same brea
 th as artists like Sebadoh\, Silver Jews\, Guided By Voices\, Palace and t
 he Grifters.  Callahan's meandering simple guitar riffs\, darkly humorous 
 lyrics\, and intimate baritone make for spooky American folk rock. \n'A re
 fined mix of Americana\, country and gospel.'- Under the Radar  \n'Mr. Cal
 lahan has finally completed his two-decade transformation from malevolent 
 provocateur to aphoristic folk-rocker.' - Paste  \n'Callahan is a true ori
 ginal.' - Wire  \n'...part Johnny Cash baritone swagger\, part Lou Reed ha
 lting witticism\, frail and confident at once.- Drowned in Sound   \nFor m
