Description
Okkervil Rivers third studio album, the iconic Black Sheep Boy, celebrates its 10th anniversary this year. Black Sheep Boy is a love story and adult fable carved in lacerating rock and roll, desolate late-night country weepers, and a few shining moments of sheer, shameless pop. along the way, the compositions of Will Sheff evoke the mature songcraft of Leonard Cohens new skin for the old ceremony, the sophistication of Scott Walkers Scott 4, the shambling slow motion bravado of Neil Youngs On the Beach, and the raw nerves and trick effects of Big Stars Third / Sister lovers.
3LP Three LPs containing the original Black Sheep Boy, Black Sheep Boy Appendix and a new LP of folk and blues covers recorded during that same period, all in a boxset containing a booklet of extensive liner notes and an essay from Okkervil Rivers Will Sheff.
