With Shepherd In a Sheepskin Vest, the pioneer of lo-fi releases his first album in 6 years. Unlike the musically simple predecessors, Callahan's new work seems complete and rounded. He goes deeper in the 20 songs than ever before. Also because his songwriting, from a changed perspective, focuses on different aspects than in earlier works.The singer-songwriter, who performed as Smog until the mid-2000s, is now a husband and father. He reflects on past existence; the songs oscillate between expressions of newly experienced joy.The work on Shepherd In a Sheepskin Vest was systematically goal-oriented for the artist: as soon as he had composed or written his guitar parts and the vocals, the other parts were added. His interplay with guitarist Matt Kinsey is an essential relationship within the music. Brian Beattie's acoustic bass adds another element to this multi-faceted potpourri. Shepherd In a Sheepskin Vest is an acoustic arrangement that combines sounds and stories into a grand musical proclamation.Reviews"Since his days with his project Smog, every new album from Callahan has been a gem, and 'Shepherd In A Sheepskin Vest' is no exception." (stereoplay, July 2019)"There is no greater, more enigmatic poet in US folk." (Jazz thing, November 2019 - January 2020)
