Black Sheep Boy

The band's name comes from an obscure Russian story and the album title comes from a song by fallen '60s folk hero Tim Hardin, but the haunting music here is purely the Austin collective's own. Like tour partners the Decemberists and soul mate Alasdair Roberts, Okkervil River deals primarily in dark string instruments and even darker poetry. "Some nights I thirst for real blood/ For real knives/ For real cries," singer Will Sheff sings on opening track, "For Real," signaling that his appetite for southern gothic muder ballads remains as strong as ever on the group's fourth album. The sinister "So Come Back, I Am Waiting" and "Black" confirm this suspicion. Less country, more Arcade Fire--whatever that means--Black Sheep Boy paradoxically also finds the band at its most commercially ambitious. Here, the slow death rattle of previous releases slowly gives way to explosive choruses and actual gore. --Aidin Vaziri

Product Description
On Okkervil River’s first Jagjaguwar release, Don’t Fall in Love with Everyone You See, the band included a song entitled "Listening to Otis Redding at Home During Christmas," a kind of re-imagining of Redding’s "I’ve Got Dreams to Remember." On the band’s newest release, they perform a trickier feat, as songwriter Will Sheff takes a lesser-known text — "Black Sheep Boy" by ‘60s folk-pop master Tim Hardin — and spins that short song’s imagery into a phantasmagorical evocation of the title character, including a brief cover and a couple of sprawling, surreal sequels. Black Sheep Boy is Okkervil River’s most ambitious and cinematic record yet, a love story and adult fable that evokes 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. It also echoes Lou Reed’s Transformer in that it is the band’s most playful and confident record by far, delighting in linguistic games and reveling equally in sheer pop, lacerating rock’n’roll and straight-up country weepers. The most fully realized and wildly adventurous Okkervil River album also introduces such previously foreign elements as children’s keyboards, digitally manipulated field recordings, and dirty splatters of distorted guitar. The longing might be keener, but the fun is funner – somebody has spiked the drinks, and there are at least two bullets in the Russian roulette chamber.

"We will float until we learn how to swim. Yes, that’s an In the Aeroplane Over the Sea reference, and yes, Okkervil River has that sort of mythical genius." – Magnet’s Eighth Best Record of 2003

When Okkervil River released Black Sheep Boy Appendix in 2005, it seemed like the band just couldn't stop themselves. Folk icon Tim Hardin's tune had both opened and provided the name for the preceding full-length album, and the "Black Sheep Boy" was too compelling a concept to leave behind. Ouch, you sigh, a concept album: But here, the concept disappears, replaced by Will Sheff's fantastic narrative songwriting and a mix of electrics and acoustics--guitars, pump organs, mandolins, vibraphones, and more. Then there's this 2-CD Black Sheep Boy Definitive Edition, merging the original album with the Appendix EP. It's a spare-beauty-turned-turbulent thing. On "Another Radio Song," Sheff's an imagist, bellowing and pleading alongside a cresting string section: "There is no escaping it / The way an unborn baby's ear unfolds in your belly / There is no escaping the thing that is making its home in your radio." It all becomes a bursting emotional leap. And for the Definitive album, you find that classic rock gem: an unreleased track whose easy brilliance seems effortless. "The Next Four Months" is a pill-popping, husband-ditching classic, "We're driving down the interstate/ You're feeling great / You scratch your wrist / And we pretend your kids, your husband / All you left does not exist," the story goes. You can guess the ending. But it's the whole piece, words and music, that you have to hear to imagine. --Andrew Bartlett

Album Description

This is the definitive double-disc set which brings together Okkervil River's ground-breaking Black Sheep Boy project in its entirety--including the original album, the 7-song Black Sheep Boy Appendix EP, the song "The Next Four Months" (originally released on the "For Real" CD single), the "For Real" video as well as a new video of a magical alternate slower take of "No Key, No Plan". Enjoy this panoramic perspective of a modern masterpiece and one of the most critically acclaimed albums of the new millennium. Black Sheep Boy is Okkervil River's most ambitious and cinematic record to date, 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. The Appendix is not just a companion piece to Black Sheep Boy; it's also a condensed, alternate vision of that record's imagery and themes, with the ultimate intent to exhaust and destroy both. This ambitious mini-album rounds up and reworks the band's favorite unfinished songs (tracked for the full-length) and then punctuates and bookends them in brand-new compositions.

A Creature All Its Own.......2007-07-07

Okkervil River is one of those rare bands that came on the scene like a crippled child in a street race, tons of ambition and heart in a limping fragile frame. With each reappearance their stamina shines through however, as every album they release is an exponential improvement over the last. With Black Sheep Boy they have, not only come to full maturity as a band, but have grown into a powerful creature of immense musical talent aswell. They are without a doubt miles ahead of their competition. On par with bands such as The National, Arcade Fire, and The Decemberists, as far as talent and personal voice, if not also in style (Think: The child of The National and The Decemberists trapped inside of a very troubling dream).

The Album does not stick to a single genre, sometimes it's alt-county, sometimes it's straight up rock, but it's always musically inspired and rewarding to listen to. But the part that makes this an excellent Album, rather than a collection of songs, is the epic scope of the story it contains.

The songs collect the thoughts and experiences of a true struggle with evil. The physical turmoil of a rotten relationship, the very real vices and temptations of humanity, the sickly excitement and victories that evil enjoys, all of these things are brought together to form the black sheep boy, the devil inside us all. The story is extremely personal, and Okkervil River's great strength is the injection of emotion into every line, and every note of the songs. But even for an album completely covered with the struggle with evil, it never gets bogged down in the darkness, and is more often triumphant in it's victories over the enemy. I'm always overjoyed with the pitiful pleas of evil desires as the hero turns his back on the empty promises and lies and moves on to a better life.

Add to all of this, the fact that it now comes packaged with The Black Sheep Boy's Appendix, for almost no extra cost, and you have a definitive product indeed. The Appendix is an EP that was released several months after Black Sheep Boy. However, it is seriously one of the best mini-albums I've ever heard. From start to finish the songs segue like a masterpiece stage act. Floating from song to song, remembering themes and images from itself and Black Sheep Boy propper, it finalizes the story and musical arc of Black Sheep Boy. It contains several songs that are even more beautiful and grander than the songs on the album itself. Check out 'Another Radio Song' to find the best song Okkervil River has recorded to date, in my opinion.

This is a must have for any fan of adventurous albums with emotion, talent, and character. I have listened to it at least once a week for the past year and a half. Give it a try.

How a boy became a man..........2007-06-23

This is simply the most moving, beautiful story ever told via an album. Its the story of abuse, love, hope, friendship, regret, despair, happiness, and especially anger, which is most apparent in the song "Black", in which Will Sheff unleashes so much emotion through his vocals that one can't help but feel his complete and utter hatred. "Black Sheep Boy" is filled with absolute musical gems, including:

For Real - A brilliant poppish type song that sends the album off to a great start, its highly infectious and a pretty emotional song via Sheff's vocals.
9.5/10

In A Radio Song - The very next song following For Real. This is a very somber, tranquil, relaxing song, mixed with beautiful music play and vocals, which is nice, becuase it gets you prepared for the next song. 9/10

Black - Following In A Radio Song, Black is... well its quite possibly the greatest song ever composed. By far the most emotional, heart-wrenching, beautiful song on the entire album. The story of his abused girlfriend, and how he tries to help her, while showing his true anger towards the girls father. A song about love and hatred, and Sheff lets us know that through his amazing, perhaps over the top vocals (in a good way though), which makes the song so incredible. I can only think of one other song with more emotion, and thats Korn's "Daddy". Absolutely astounding and the greatest song ever, describes this song pretty well.
10/10 (100/10 if I could)

A Stone - Ha ha, oh yes, this song is something. This takes a chick flik and turns it into a five and a half-minute song. First there's hope, then love, then sorrow, and thats about it. Mixed with somber and freshly calmed vocals, A Stone is the greatest story every told in this short of span. I absolutely love it, I can't possibly see any other way of looking at it. Sheer brilliance.
10/10

The Latest Toughs - An upbeat, catchy song, that carries the album along quite well. A very refreshing change from the rest of the album, and I LOVE the background vocals in this song. Though the upbeat part of the song may seem confusing, because this is most certainly not a cheerful song.
8.5/10

So Come Back, I Am Waiting - How the boy became a man. Just listen to this song, thats all I can say. But you have to listen to the predecessing songs first, since they really lead up to this song. I like to think of this as the ending song of the album, although A Glow does continue it. This is really the final chapter in the album, about how this young man finally manages to see the inner light in life, and his love. He finally becomses a man, which Sheff cooes near the end of the song "So come back to your black sheep man". A fantastic, beautifully muically composed piece of art. Most bands can only dream of composing a song this incredible, both musically and lyrically and vocally. WoW!
10/10, duh.

Album Overall: 10/10
This is the most well written album, lyrically it makes one think deeply and emotionally. This is whats missing in the music world today, incredible music mixed with unforgettable lyrics. So many songs nowadays are so straight forward and utterly disappointing, well not any of the songs on this album do that. How good is this album? Well its one of the 10 greatest albums ever, how about that? Any indie rock lover can certainly not miss out on this piece of art. I also recommend checking out Shearwater's (both Will Sheff and Jonathan Meiburg are in this band as well, though Jonathan is the lead singer, and the sound is more soothing and relaxed) "Palo Santo". This is the greatest album since Radiohead's OK Computer, and touches the heart in so many places. Well done Okkervil River, well done.

Broken But Beautiful Black Sheep Boy.......2007-04-25

Can an album be depressing yet uplifting at the same time? Thats how i feel everytime i listen to this album. It always seems to find itself into my rotation when depressed, yet when i hear the song For Real i cant help but jam along to the thundering guitar. If you pay attention to the lyrics they are some of the darkest stuff written in a while, but you can't help but sing along. I would compare this to a darker (not more emo) Bright Eyes. Will Sheff spills everything he has into every word he spews, and the thundering rhythm section melds perfectly with his cracked voice. Great vocals and Amazing arrangements.
Key Tracks: For Real; So Come Back I'm Waiting; Black; Song of Our So-Called Friend; A Stone

Brilliant........2006-10-18

Out of Austin comes the little-known band Okkervil River, playing some of the most imaginative, beautiful, and heartfelt songs I've ever heard. Okkervil River goes a bit rock and pop with songs like "Black" and "All the Latest Toughs"; they absolutely blister with the raw and wonderfully coarse "For Real"; quiet down with the delicate and sublime "A Stone". But the crowning glory on this album is "So Come Back, I Am Waiting": a desperate, clawing, nearly nine-minute epic crescendo, filled with wild emotion, great alliteration, and wonderfully descriptive imagery. The entire album is loosely woven around the theme of the black sheep boy-- but it's not a story, more of a feeling, with repeating elements and imagery that flicker in and out. Between the varied instruments, Will Sheff's emotive voice and his wonderful use of language, this is my favorite album, period.

A finely sharpened dart.......2006-08-15

Take Andrew Bird, mix in a bit of Modest Mouse and sprinkle a little of Calexico's horn section in between, and enjoy the resulting "Black Sheep Boy". This is a really powerful album, because of many variables. The one that did it for me though, was the raw emotion of the singer, Will Sheff. This emotion is coupled to smart lyrics that reveal a raw maturity. Raw is a good word to describe "Black Sheep Boy", because in my opinion it describes perfectly the awkwardness, the pain and fury from growing up. Not just growing up, but growing from those really hurtful yet subtle cuts...parting ways with a loved one, a friend, and coming to terms with one's family. They're the stories of the black sheep among us losing their innocence, but learning to live. And this band does an excellent job of playing the rage, tenderness, and exhaustion.

All tracks are impressive. Whether loud or tender, each is strong with a depth of instrumentals. I don't think the band took a song off in this record, however, slight angst fatigue set in beginning with "So comeback" for me. Repeated listening is essential but well worth it. A great record, perfect for long drives.

Highly rated... guess I have to listen more.......2006-08-01

This album was highly recommended on many sites so I decided to give it a try. True, it's a good album and worth buying.

But, sometimes a little too much Bright Eyes and even Counting Crows. You got to like the singing I guess, otherwise the songs are all ok.

Mezmerizing.......2006-12-26

I bought this right off the turntable in the music store. I like all the songs and three of them are among my all time favorites. The intensity builds and hits a peak that gives me goose bumps.

Mix-and-match-musicianship.......2006-07-19

Okkervil River has been one of my favorite bands of the decade thus far. However, this CD seems to be just the scrapings of a few miscellaneous songs, with a few fillers just to justify putting it to market. Two songs of note: "Another Radio Song," which has been floating around for a few years, and "No Key No Plan," the only new song that's really worth hearing on the piece. This isn't to say that this album is bad, it's still better than 75% of the music I've bought this year, but if this is indicative of the future direction of OR then I am disappointed. The new Shearwater album is amazing, though, and perhaps this OR release feels rushed and pieced together because the band has been concentrating on that instead.

Music is amazing.......2006-03-16

Sheff writes and sings with passion, feeling, and conviction. This music grabs you and grows on you. RCM

An Appendix you can't live without.......2006-01-07

Seriously you need to hear this

Leftovers? Yes. But at least they're still warm..........2005-12-04

While I share the opinion of the reviewer above in that Mr. Sheff's songwriting continues to grow stronger and stronger, one can't help but feel slightly dissatisfied with the River's latest offering.

I too have held a long-term fascination with this group, and Sheff in particular, and bought this album just as any obsessive fan will. After a few listens through, however, it becomes increasingly apparent that "Black Sheep Boy Appendix" is merely a good excuse to showcase one or two musical gems, specifically "Another Radio Song" and "Black Sheep Boy #4." Though these two tracks will certainly warrant the purchase price for most fans of the group, the rest of the album, unfortunately, sounds like mere filler.

"No Key, No Plan" and "Last Love Song", while not bad songs, seem colder and less natural, due in large part to Sheff belting out lines in wracked emotion before the listener even feels a connection to the material being sung. Unlike Okkervil's previous efforts, which paced themselves perfectly to allow the listener to slide into the album and it's mood, making Sheff's emotional stylings believable and appropriate, these songs feel forced and insincere.

Tracks such as "A Garden" and "A Forest" meander almost aimlessly and are usually perpetrated by far more pretentious artists than Will has ever appeared to be.(Connor Oberst and Mike Patton, though both exceptional writers in my opinion, come to mind here.)

While I can understand that Will's tireless musical output drives him to release material at a more frequent rate than his peers, it's no secret that this is the fourth release by Okkervil River in just over a year. Four releases, though two of them were an E.P. and a single, is still an awful lot of work.

One starts to notice the parallels and similarities between artists such as Oberst, Patton and Sheff: multiple projects churning out material simultaneously, more releases in six months than most artists in two years, etc., etc. My gripe is only that it becomes very easy for an audience to tire of something (however brilliant or inventive) when given too much too quickly, and even easier for the artists themselves to tire, which tends to lead to poor material.

Luckily for Mr. Sheff, he seems to have found just enough material here to warrant this release, but again, just barely.

All in all, this album seems to work, if only for the fact that it still offers that familiar "Okkervil" sound we love so much, though it will almost certainly not join the ranks of the near-perfect masterpieces this ensemble have blessed us with this last year.

And down the river goes Huck....

What a beautiful CD!.......2003-11-23

I saw this CD in a store and since I had previously heard the group at a performance in St. Charles, I thought I'd buy it. I'm very happy I did. I play it all the time. Beautiful vocals and music. They start with some wonderful John Rutter compostitions highlighting the Metropolis Chamber Orchestra and then move into more traditional choral music featuring American and British folk songs. Shenendoah closes out the CD and is just beautiful. When I heard them do it live they moved out into the church and surrounded the audience. What a moment. This CD captures the feeling of the performance and I'm glad I have it.

Changes aren't always for the better........2007-07-22

Went looking for a cd version of Tim Hardin's last song, "Unforgiven", so far available only on vinyl. Found it on this compilation.....or so I thought. To my dismay, someone had thought they would do Tim one better, and so padded this song with a Vegas chorus and a lot of hoo-ha added to the mix. The fundamentals are still there, but its mutton dressed as lamb. Some of the other songs are untouched, so it wasn't a total wash.
