Album Description 2009 release. At the risk of being redundant, Sometimes I Wish We Were An Eagle is about as beautiful an album as you can expect to hear sung circa 2009. Unfolding like a first view of paradise, then a slightly less ecstatic second view of paradise and then finally a glance back over your shoulder at that stupid paradise bulls***, Sometimes I Wish We Were An Eagle surveys a landscape that grows organically, like the time two people spend together; or the time one person spends alone (with another). One way or another, it's awfully pretty. Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsEMOTION is a small word with a BIG landscape of meaning Willie Boy | 06/25/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "As an avid watcher of the Discovery Channel I understand when I find something this great it should be massaged gently.... This is in no doubt THE biggest find of 2009... Emotion is a small word with overwhelming meaning and this new album by Callahan is in the realm of dream-like perfection. I had so many feelings emerge and a new life of thought... that I Sometimes Wish We Were An Eagle..... I found a fountain of youth in the songs and will shower in its beauty for the rest of 2009 and most likely until I die. To vacate the songs as individual would be a disgrace to the beauty of its whole.. The flow of spiritual release -it's astounding !! Kudos to Mr. Bill for such a fine album with the trash music today this is a breath of fresh air and reminds me of how... Sometimes I Wish We Were An Eagle HIGHLY RECOMMENDED" Bill Callahan-Sometimes I wish I were an eagle. Wayne M. Kukse | 12/01/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "I go back w/ Bill to the Smog/Suckdog split 7". As is the case w/ many greats, (Nick Cave & The Fall come to mind) after awhile, you loose track of thier greatness, and quit purchasing thier new stuff. More often than not, a big mistake. Fortunately, these days nothing "goes outta print". As good a record in it's genre as you'll find this or any year. Give the Saddle Creek kids their due, but they must bow to the master- Papa Bill. Every song on this disk has been my "favorite" at one time or another. Buy this disk." This is beautiful, pensive, and intense Mark Town | Pittsburgh USA | 01/16/2010 (5 out of 5 stars) "I had become fairly pessimistic about finding current folk/pop music-makers with lasting appeal for me. This disc made it on to a NY Times 10 Best List, and I gave the thirty-second samples a listen on Amazon. I am happy that I did. These songs and Callahan's mesmerizing vocals have dominated our house for the past week. Will it last? So much new music fades quickly for me...Norah Jones just being one of many who do not stand up to repeated listenings. Of course, that I do not know. Perhaps this will. At least for now it gives great pleasure."
