Description


Okkervil River's third studio album, the iconic 'Black Sheep Boy', celebrates its 10th anniversary this year. 'Black Sheep Boy' is a love story and adult fable carved in lacerating rock and roll, desolate late-night country weepers, and a few shining moments of sheer, shameless pop. along the way, the compositions of Will Sheff evoke the mature songcraft of Leonard Cohen's new skin for the old ceremony, the sophistication of Scott Walker's 'Scott 4', the shambling slow motion bravado of Neil Young's 'On the Beach', and the raw nerves and trick effects of Big Star's 'Third / Sister lovers'.3CD - Three CDs containing the original 'Black Sheep Boy', 'Black Sheep Boy Appendix' and a new CD of folk and blues covers recorded during that same period, all in slip case containing a 32 page booklet of liner notes, art and an essay from Okkervil River's Will Sheff.3LP - Three LPs containing the original 'Black Sheep Boy', 'Black Sheep Boy Appendix' and a new LP of folk and blues covers recorded during that same period, all in a boxset containing a booklet of extensive liner notes and an essay from Okkervil River's Will Sheff.
