Wild Love is the fourth album byBill Callahan (also known as Smog), released on March 27, 1995, onDrag City and re-released in Europe onDomino in 2001.Jim O'Rourke appeared as cellist on this album, his first collaboration with Smog. Drag City's producerRian Murphy helped to develop a wider musical palette than its predecessorJulius Caesar.
Wild Love has attracted favorable critical reviews. In a retrospective biography ofSmog,AllMusic's Jason Ankeny called the album "a triumph of abject failure", seeing that it "reflected [Callahan's] bitter obsessions with stunning clarity."[4]
