Okkervil River has been with us since their 2002 debut album, Don’t Fall In Love With Everyone You See. They’ve had some success, but never to the point of being a household name. Black Sheep Boy (along with its companion, Black Sheep Boy Appendix) is the third album. In 2005, frontman and main writer Will Sheff was struggling to keep things afloat, to the point where he found himself homeless for a period of time. This album went mostly unnoticed in 2005, but it deserved a better fate than that. Scheff leads the band through a set of pretty great sounding tracks, with the strange Black Sheep Boy as a recurring character. The Black Sheep Boy is actually from a song by Tim Hardin, which opens the album. A lot of the record deals with Hardin’s struggles with drugs.

The main highlight here is “For Real”, a could have been, maybe should have been hit for the band. On the other end of that, though, is the slow and lumbering (and quite long) “So Come Back, I Am Waiting”. Everything else lies squarely in between. Black Sheep Boy is, for the most part, a warm and very interesting set of songs. Scheff is a fine singer, whose voice fits both the upbeat and slower songs well. Scheff has been the band’s only constant member, and they have released another six albums since this one. With some success, but not a lot to speak of. That’s okay. Will Scheff keeps the Okkervill ball rolling, with albums that are, at the very least, interesting and well crafted. A hard working band that should be better known than they are.
