"Cold Blooded Old Times" turns up on Knock Knock, the seventh album Bill Callahan made as Smog, released by Drag City in January 1999, with Domino putting it out in Europe. Callahan wrote it alone and produced it with Jim O'Rourke, a partnership the original sleeve didn't even acknowledge.
The record around it came out of a breakup. Callahan wrote most of its songs in 1998 while driving to Chicago after his relationship with the musician Chan Marshall, better known as Cat Power, came apart; the couple had shared an eight-room farmhouse out in Prosperity, South Carolina. The sessions that followed took just 10 days.
