Sometimes I Wish We Were an Eagle is the second solo album by American musician Bill Callahan under his own name, released on April 14, 2009, via Drag City.

[1] Sometimes I Wish We Were an Eagle was recorded by John Congleton and arranged by Brian Beattie.

When I got back we put the overdubs on, in an old fashioned way – four or five string players gathered around one microphone.

The basic band is a couple fellers who I'd been touring with a bit lately, Jaime Zuverza on fine and pretty guitar – Brian described his playing style as "unmacho" which I thought was great.

The bassist was Bobby Weaver who was a friend of the engineer John Congleton.
