dad -- what is its relation to other bill c. releases

honestly, it sounds--to my ears--like a continuation of Gold Record and Shepherd.

also, having listened to a lot of Sometimes I Wish We Were An Eagle lately, it's as if that album, Gold Record, and Shepherd had a three-way.

i love the outro to Naked Souls.

what the F malloy, is this your first callahan rodeo?

Start with ain't too much to love

Then do dongs of sevotion

They're both perfect and kind of represent the range of his sounds, and everything else will fall somewhere along that spectrum
i started this thread! i've heard everything but the new record. i just wondered, since dad has listened to it, 1) if he likes it and 2) where it rate in the universe of bill c records (as opposed to smog, which i think of as both distinct and better).

I liked it quite a bit, but it's only been one listen. I think it's above Gold Record for me, mostly because it's got a more interesting sound. Need to sit with it some more this week.
