Too Many Birds

My beloved Carl gave me this record this week.


"I used to be darker, then I got lighter, then I got dark again."
Wow.

“It’s time to put God away...”
Wow.

"If you could only stop your heartbeat for one heartbeat."
Wow.

Still so fresh, I'm too excited to even express how lovely his baritone voice and accompanying melodies are to my ears. Buy it, download it, steal it. Do whatever you can to listen to it.

Downriver Revival compilation:
A true Appalachian-esque fidelity... And with this incredible comp, I'm pretty set for this month with tunes. A nice secular (+ gospel) companion to Bill Callahan's.
