	Bill Callahan: Woke On A Whaleheart (2007): Reviews
		While Callahan's Woke On A Whaleheart shares Smog's rumbly tone and rootsy foundations, it is a bit of a departure.
		Bill Callahan's latest solo effort is so laid back that it almost never gets going at all.
		Callahan’s deliberate, word-centric approach seems merely perverse instead of brave, and somehow the album seems much shorter than its 40 minutes, as if it’s only a sketch for what’s next.

		Callahan, 46, was Jon Gruden's right-hand man for seven years -- three as offensive line coach of the Philadelphia Eagles when Gruden was offensive coordinator and the last four years as Gruden's offensive coordinator with the Raiders.
		Callahan is more professorial in tone, displaying little in the way of flamboyance.
		Callahan keeps his emotions in check, but concedes that there's one thing about his new job that has his wife concerned.

	Bill Callahan: Woke on a Whaleheart: Pitchfork Record Review
		Callahan may finally be stepping into his own name, but in both narrative and sound, Woke on a Whaleheart is insistently vague, riddled with half-thoughts and muddled images.
		Callahan's voice, meanwhile, is thick and precise, tempered only by the smallest hints of grit-- on "The Wheel" he channels Outlaw composure, sounding like a cross between Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings with all his round sounds and bellows.
		Callahan may have ditched the instrumental, uber lo-fi methodology of his earliest days, but Woke on a Whaleheart is still a fully realized event, if not necessarily a game-changing one.

		But Callahan had come up as a blood-and-guts line coach and, as the days passed, his personality emerged and he was able to take charge of and win over his mostly veteran team.
