It’s for “Small Plane,” the same lovely sigh of a song that he played in a community garden for NPR’s cameras. Callahan co-directed the video with Hanly Banks, and it [...]

Banhart kissed his beard goodbye, but the gender-bending/open-ended sexuality remains on "Forget About Him," his contribution to the Kath Bloom tribute CD Loving Takes This Course. The 16-song collection also includes Bill Callahan, Mark Kozelek, the Dodos, Josephine Foster, Scout Niblett, etc. If you're unfamiliar with Bloom, she's a Connecticu...

Photo by Drew KatchenTuba-voiced depressive Bill Callahan used to call himself Smog, but he's been going by his given name ever since 2007's Woke on a Whaleheart.

Few took notice when Kath Bloom retreated from the New York folk scene in the 1980s. Her disappearance is neither as romantic like Vashti Bunyan's bucolic sojourn nor as storied as Cat Stevens' conversion: On hard times, Bloom moved to rural New England to raise her sons. Two decades later, Australian label Chapter Music has reissued the bulk of...
