Rough Travel For A Rare Thing by Bill CallahanA new Bill Callahan record, live album or not, is cause for celebration!
Some background:
Rough Travel for a Rare Thing was recorded in Melbourne, Australia on November 8, 2007. For the sold-out tour all across Australia that this recording was taken from, the lineup was: three fiddle players who also sang back up, a drummer without cymbals and a bass player who also played harmonica. The idea was to have a strong, simple foundation with a lot of space left on top to be filled by the mystical strings and voice. And that’s what came to pass. Rough Travel For a Rare Thing features KATE CONNOR, LARA GOODRIDGE, PRIA SCHWALL, TIM ROGERS and LAWRENCE PIKE and an audience of probably a hundred. But they were packed in there. And there were lots more out on the sidewalk in front.

Texas is the first place I’ve felt at home, and that’s a strange feeling. I mean, other people always talk about missing home, or feeling at home, and I’d never experienced that. It’s an easy place to live. People seem to enjoy their lives more or something. A lot of cities seem to have a lot of unsatisfied people in them, but West Texas… it’s just peaceful and quiet.
