Cass McCombs, possessor of one of the loveliest voices in music today and some of the niftiest song arrangements, is playing some dates to bring his latest offering, Catacombs, into the world. The record is due out July 7 on Domino and the first single, "Dream Come True Girl" features the inimitable Karen Black. But will she join him live? I guess we'll have to wait and see to find out...
