Description: Tracks:Wing BoneTrick BirdSawtooth Sung a Cheater's SongAppleLion & Bee2 Sisters Drvnk on Each OtherHeron King BluesUntitled - (hidden track) Performer Notes: Califone includes: Tim Rutili (vocals, guitar, piano, Wurlitzer piano); Jim Becker (vocals, violin, organ); Michaell Krassner (organ); Joe Adamik (shiani reed, organ, percussion, loops); Ben Massarella (drums, percussion).One of the most consistent and moody outings in the Califone catalogue, 2004's HERON KING BLUES finds the Chicago indie-rock act offering up a concept album based on the bird-themed recurring dreams of frontman Tim Rutili. Highlights of the record include the spare, haunting "Wingbone" and the gritty, sprawling title track. Professional Reviews: Entertainment Weekly (2/20/04, p.66) - "Like fellow roots radical Tom Waits, Califone update the genre with arty concepts and ragged punk-rock grit." - Rating: B+ Q (2/04, p.98) - 3 stars out of 5 - "[With] more floaty moodpieces or doomy dance grooves, peppered with space debris..." Uncut (3/04, p.92) - 4 stars out of 5 - "HERON KING BLUES is a free and forward-thinking kind of record, but also one that taps into forgotten, mythic resonances of American music without ever sounding ersatz, hokey or remotely contrived." Magnet (2/04, p.90) - "[C]ertain tracks here feel more cohesive and polished than anything in the band's catalog."
