The songwriter’s songwriter, Bill Callahan (Smog), recently set up for NPR in Manhattan’s 6th & B Community Garden to perform his new song Small Plane off of his impending Dream River album.  Trustworthy folks are pronouncing Dream River as Callahan’s best album to date (which sings volumes).

Watch below as Callahan, with his poet’s ear and beauteous baritone, sings his dulcet ode to intimacy and trust in a relationship.  While listening to this song, it is hard to dispute that “I really am a lucky man.”  You can go HERE to pre-order Dream River on Drag City.  Callahan will head out in a week on an international tour in support of the new album, including at Soho in Santa Barbara on November 15th.  Go to Club Mercy for tickets.
