Trust me on this one. I had been wanting this cd for a while and finally got it months ago, but keep forgetting to post about it. Okkervil River hailing from Austin, TX, is hard to decribe. Maybe Bright Eyes with a better voice? You need to see for yourself. Black Sheep Boy is a solid CD from start to finish. Here are two amazing songs on the album. "Black" and "For Real" Don't believe me? Stylus gave it an A. Pitchfork an 8.5. Tiny Mix tapes gave it a 4/5. Their tour dates are:
