Just out of curiosity, how could you tell? I booked a bunch of shows he played in years ago, and while we never really hung out socially, he never set off any alarm bells with me.

Black Sheep Boy was the start of a long, flawless run for #okkervilriver

Still weird that the label pushed so many other singles with limited success first.

This one and "I Feel You" were a pretty strong one-two punch, but there wasn't really another banger on the album. Solid tracks, yes, but after this song it was evident that DM weren't going to top Violator.
