One of the most anticipated albums of 2019 is Shepherd in a Sheepskin Vest, Bill Callahan's first album of new songs in six years. In the time since Dream River was released, Bill's songs have appeared in film and television usages, notably last year's "Wild Wild Country" documentary, which derived its title from Bill's song "Drover". Meanwhile, Bill has continued to tour and play to increasingly larger crowds around the country. The reason is clear: Bill’s gentle, spacey take on folk and roots music is like no other; scraps of imagery, melody and instrumentation tumble suddenly together in moments of true human encounters that draw the listener empathetically inward. 

 

"Watch Me Get Married" is a vital example of Bill's method for Shepherd In a Sheepskin Vest – a low-key shuffle opens up with strains of steel and honks of brass, ushering our friend back in the door after a long absence. With cosmic American musings pouring out of his chest, it's a vulnerable, celebratory moment of self-inventory. That's how it feels when you get married – sublime, resplendent and humble.
