Maryland's Bill Callahan (Smog) will release a book chronicling his lyrics from across his career. It's due out 21 October via Drag City.
The book will also feature exclusive artwork by Callahan. The Drag City merch listing describes it thusly:
"The (nearly) Complete Callahan Joke Book - whoops, we meant Lyric Book! You'll get a chuckle out of it no matter what you call it. 70 songs + 116 ink-wash images by the lyricist himself! Man, now we gotta get him to work on that Joke Book..."
Watch the video for "Javelin Unlanding" below, and pre-order the book here.
I Drive A Valence is out 21 October on Drag City.
