".. but then again Bill Callahan should be revered for always telling it like it is. The softer, acoustic version of "I Was a Stranger" is unsettling in a beautiful way. Overall this EP is a nice rolling snapshot of rainy day music. Callahan's voice is like the raindrops on a window--soothing in that slightly disturbing way."

Interesting yes, hmm.

"This is a smog at the end of the millenium ep. He is older and more grizzled and sings with a Johnny Cash sexy swagger (i.e. with arrogant soul). He knows his songs are brilliant and he doesn't care. This is not the most carefully crafted selection of songs but the new version of "I was a stranger" is brilliant. Just to hear him sing it with the mental stability the first version lacked is worth the cost. You should buy this if you are interested in his recent albums and because if enjoy watching rain settle into a puddle on the sidewalk."
