Austin outré Americana expert Bill Callahan will return with a new full-length on January 21. His essential end-of-day drifter Dream River handily made SPIN’s 50 Best Albums of 2013 list, and so we’re more than pleased to hear he’s in fact revisiting the those eight fine songs for a dub version of the entire set. It’s not a total surprise, of course. This summer Callahan released Expanding Dub, a sopping-wet psychedelic re-imagining of Javelin Unlanding backed with Highs in the Mid-40’s Dub, which took on Dream River closer Winter Road.

On one of 2013’s best releases, the silence that invaded before Callahan began to reveal more lyrics or the pauses between silvery guitar lines gave the album levity, so why not make a more expansive version? Unfortunately Have Fun With God doesn’t match the brilliance of Dream River and never quite evolves beyond being an interesting experiment and nothing more
