Bill Callahan - The Holy Grail: Bill Callahan's Smog Dec. 10, 2001 Peel Session

December 10, 2001, Maida Vale: Bill Callahan’s “Smog”, out on the Rain On Lens tour, made a stop at the BBC and performed with demonstrative zeal for their British witness, shimmering and hissing with a Lynchian vibe of U.S. darkness in the invariable shadows of the fallen towers. The Holy Grail is the mythical relic from that very Peel Session, with Callahan & band (Jessica Billey, Mike Saenz and Jim White) covering Stevie Nicks, Lou Reed and Smog with grey, ashen resolve and tour-torn flexibility — amassing a bruised, plaintive essence of humanity with their efforts.
