about

[Darts & Arrows is a] Chicago quartet that takes folk/pop instrumentals and turns them into improvised explorations. Instrumental pop music – if such a thing can exist – is rare to hear played live, and played well, rarer still, but MacKay’s compositions are much more nuanced than your typical jamband.'

David Berman's swansong is a brilliant return. The music & words are poignant, moving, powerful, absurdly funny and it hits the heart & soul in a way few recent records have. Bill MacKay

Bill Callahan also makes a grand reentry in the land of recorded music with this excellent two-disc opus. He goes a lot of great places, and takes you with him. Top-notch songwriting & true flair. Bill MacKay

Plastic Ono Band

This companion to Lennon's album of same name also came out in 1970. The two are a primal pair and fit together like a puzzle. Ono's art-punk majesty and inventive avant-garde-ism in great form.. Bill MacKay
