Howdy, today's song(s) of the day are from the album "Knock Knock" by Smog. Although he goes by his given name now, Bill Callahan recorded under the Smog moniker from the late 1980s to 2007. Released in 1999, Knock Knock is Smog's seventh album. Look for Callahan's trademark repetitive song structure, baritone voice and deadpan delivery, which may obscure but never undermines the dark irony and emotional complexity of his songs. And enjoy every second of it, for thunder's sake! "Hit the Ground Running" may have a special place in the heart of a young travelin' hog slayer--"I had to leave the country, though there was some nice folk there. Now I don't know where I'm going, all I know is I'll hit the ground running." From country ham, to city ham, then back again. Godspeed Hog Nation.Thursday, May 27, 2010
