"Woke on a Whaleheart" was the first record released by Bill Callahan under his own name instead of his nom de plume, Smog. His relationship with Drag City continues, however, and they released the album on April 24th, 2007, respectively a week earlier in Texas [" [http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/news/42419-bill-callahan-drops-iwhalehearti-a-week-early-in-texas Bill Callahan Drops Whaleheart a Week Early in Texas] ", pitchforkmedia.com (2007-04-17, retrieved on 2008-01-14)] . A single, "Diamond Dancer", preceded the album. It was released on March 20 2007.

The arrangements of labelmate and former-Royal Trux vocalist and guitarist Neil Hagerty are featured on the album, and Callahan's band consists of vocalist Deani Pugh-Flemmings, guitarist Pete Denton, violinist Elizabeth Warren, percussionist Thor Harris, bassist Steve Bernal, and keyboard/lap steel player Howard Draper. The album was recorded by Jeremy Lemos, who previously recorded albums "Rain on Lens" and "Supper" for Callahan. The album's sound touches upon "gospel, tough pop and American Light Opera."
