Dream River made for listening and dreaming

Is this a great record - I had since Apocalypse no longer concerns me with Bill Callahan, have recently become aware of a tour poster. Bought - immediately inserted and annoyed that I had not tried the same release of this CD it. Here singer / songwriter meets 70's Soul / Funk - if I may call it in musicians: Gordon Lightfoot meets Marvin Gaye. So it sounds to me. Deeply relaxed, but with testimony and with psychadelischen guitar interventions in some songs. Highlights can I not mention - all very nicely done, music for listening and enjoying. For me so far (July 2014) album of the year (I know it's already appeared in 2013) - strong buy recommendation to a friend of the singer / songwriter genre, but also to the Funky Group of 70's!
