Bill Calahan's solo and Smog lyrics to be collected into a new book, I Drive A Valence

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..."

I Drive A Valence is out 21 October on Drag City.
