One of our favourites here at Americana UK returns at the end of the Summer - the Will Oldham-esque Bill Callahan will unleash his new record 'Dream River,' set for September 17 release on Drag City. Recorded at Cacophony, TX, earlier this year, 'Dream River' features just eight tracks - as the press release attests, "Whether flying home in a small plane, drinking with the sleeping inhabitants of a hotel for company, painting boats for the summer or flying towards the sea along the path of the dream river without the aid of any craft, Bill Callahan is speaking to us in a voice - that "gorgeous thing" (New Yorker) - that belongs to him and only him."

The Duchess of Coolsville will be holding court at The Barbican this July for a one-off UK show playing tracks from her new album "The Devil You Know" which features covers of songs as diverse as "The Weight" (The Band), "Only Love Can Break Your Heart" (Neil Young), and "Sympathy for the Devil" (The Rolling Stones).
