Been looking forward to this - downloading now, psyched to get back from work tonight and check it out. I'll drop in here first to get the official ILM opinion.

i prefer the original songs. he has taken depressing, brooding songs and made them... radio friendly alt-country?

― cutty (mcutt), Thursday, 26 February 2004 15:45 (twenty-two years ago)

That is what Toby told me in the pub, yes. It's made me the most excited about a Will Oldham project since about 1997.

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Thursday, 26 February 2004 15:49 (twenty-two years ago)

What I am most interested in: his collaboration with Sage Francis and MF Doom!

― nathalie (nathalie), Thursday, 26 February 2004 15:51 (twenty-two years ago)

please update Roger...I'm super excited about this....Lots of those Alan Jackson guys he's working with are great session guys, and I think Pig Hargus is on it!!!

― M@tt He1geson (Matt Helgeson), Thursday, 26 February 2004 15:52 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm hoping this proves my belief that Bonnie/Will's true strength is the fact that he writes great songs, which will hopefully be better once you strip away all the lo-fi, breaking voice stuff of the past (which is sometimes great but sometimes not....)

― M@tt He1geson (Matt Helgeson), Thursday, 26 February 2004 15:53 (twenty-two years ago)

Did ILM have much of an opinion on the 'All Most Heaven' record? The most hifi thing he's done previous to this, I think, and he sings/writes gorgeously for it. It's more and more my fav thing by him.

― Silly Sailor (Andrew Thames), Thursday, 26 February 2004 15:55 (twenty-two years ago)

I have it.

It sucks.

― ddb, Thursday, 26 February 2004 16:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Why does it suck?

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Thursday, 26 February 2004 16:19 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm not sure about this record either. I've problems with the radio-friendly alt-country sound in itself, but the problem here is that it just doesn't suit the material. "When you have no-one/ No-one can hurt you" + fiddle solo = hmm yes very clever. In fact, it reminds me a bit of that country LP Ween did.

― Jason J, Thursday, 26 February 2004 16:31 (twenty-two years ago)

I like "All Most Heaven."

― morris pavilion (samjeff), Thursday, 26 February 2004 16:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Sorry, that should have read "I have no problems with the radio-friendly alt-country blah blah..."

xpost - I like 'All Most Heaven', too. But this ain't a lot like that.

― Jason J, Thursday, 26 February 2004 16:40 (twenty-two years ago)

So, we're talking about the redone Palace stuff, here? Please, give us details. I really enjoyed the stuff I saw live last year, full band, etc. And isn't re-arrangement of his songs something that Will has been doing for a long time live?

― Ian Johnson (orion), Thursday, 26 February 2004 16:40 (twenty-two years ago)

The one time I saw him live was awful- he'd apparently just discovered jazz fusion and wanted to share it with us. Even his performances in "Matewan" and the Baby Jessica TV movie can't erase that memory.

― Donna Brown (Donna Brown), Thursday, 26 February 2004 16:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Well 2 tracks in I think it works as experiment, as music and as crossover gambit. A tentative thumbs up, pending the rest. Reminds me of 70s Dylan.

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Thursday, 26 February 2004 16:43 (twenty-two years ago)

'bonnie prince billy sings greatest palace music' is to everything good about will oldham as 'liz phair' is to everything good about liz phair.

(misguided matrix apologists need not respond)

― Jack Flack, Thursday, 26 February 2004 16:46 (twenty-two years ago)

The re-recorded "Gulf Shores" is ravishing.

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Thursday, 26 February 2004 16:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Jack Flack - it really doesn't seem like as big a deal to me, it's not too far sonically from Lambchop, or from pre-laptop Lambchop anyway.

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Thursday, 26 February 2004 16:51 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't see why it doesn't work as an experiment, if that's what it is. The sound isn't so polished as to completely set it apart from, say, Ease Down The Road, and people seemed to like that fine. I think it's superb.

― DJ Mencap (DJ Mencap), Thursday, 26 February 2004 16:52 (twenty-two years ago)

You can listen to one of the tracks at Said The Gramaphone; www.tangmonkey.com/blogs/music. I am pretty wowed by this track, actually. I do think it shows what an amazing songwriter he is. I don't think it loses it's meaning to make it "radio friendly"; if anything, I think it's a little richer because it is not just straightforward gloom.

― Scott, Thursday, 26 February 2004 16:58 (twenty-two years ago)

i need to give this another listen, clearly. i've been meaning to, when i first heard it i wasn't expecting that sound at all, but i need to give it a few more goes before i know whether i love it or loathe it.

― toby (tsg20), Thursday, 26 February 2004 17:09 (twenty-two years ago)

as a big fan, i'm nonplussed. it's interesting, but there are no new revelations within these rerecordings. on another track, i just got a boot of a live acoustic show done in iceland by oldham solo and it's staggering....

― thee trouthole, Thursday, 26 February 2004 18:12 (twenty-two years ago)

Oldham's the second indie 'name' to have re-recorded his Greatest Hits recently (OK Luke Haines isnt a 'name' except among a fairly small UK audience) - it's a good idea. There's hardly a mass audience for a best of with these folks and in the wonderful world of CDRs you might as well just publish the tracklisting and say, ok, burn it yourself. So the 'buy anything' mob are at least getting something new here. Artistically it's an opportunity to test the material, see if it works in a different style, and the bonus in this case is that it asks some quite interesting questions about the relationship between 'alt-country' and 'country' and what Will Oldham does. OK maybe it's not 'revelatory' but I'm not sure what would be exactly.

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Thursday, 26 February 2004 18:26 (twenty-two years ago)

has anyone heard his new instrumental EP?

― gygax! (gygax!), Thursday, 26 February 2004 18:29 (twenty-two years ago)

the new instrumental EP is warm and bleary. it doesn't ask any 'quite interesting questions' however.

tico i agree on all counts with what you're saying here ... but you're only addressing the concept, not the actual sound that comes out of the actual speakers - and which my actual ears find rather vile.

(also i am fully cognizant that mr oldham likely finds my revulsion quite gratifying)

― Jack Flack, Thursday, 26 February 2004 19:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, I addressed the actual sound a bit more upthread - it reminds me of 70s Dylan and of Lambchop, both things I like, so I have no problems with it. I find that rich country-rock sound surprisingly satisfying and beautiful in places, surprisingly because I'd not have identified it as a thing of mine previously (I like my country either much older or really selling out w/string sections, keyboards all over the place etc etc.)

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Thursday, 26 February 2004 19:46 (twenty-two years ago)

I too have been anticipating this. I downloaded "New Partner" referenced upthread. The production is great, and the added musicians add something to the song. The vocal melody is all messed up, though, and I thought the original melody was perfect! (ie: "You're always on my mind"x3).

― scott m (mcd), Thursday, 26 February 2004 20:20 (twenty-two years ago)

Who's singing the 2nd verse?

I'll definitely buy this, though. The cover is great.

http://www.dragcity.com/catalog/records/dc252.jpg

― scott m (mcd), Thursday, 26 February 2004 20:22 (twenty-two years ago)

did an
interview with him the other day about this record. He seems earnest about the project and, as respects alt-country, claims to actively dislike most of it.

I think he just likes to ruin things. Something like the punk ethos; lack of reverance as a path to innovation (?). Sorry to self-promote.

― ben tausig, Thursday, 26 February 2004 22:19 (twenty-two years ago)

What is the US Release date on this?

― Scott, Thursday, 26 February 2004 22:28 (twenty-two years ago)

that's a really useful interview, ben.

― Ian Johnson (orion), Thursday, 26 February 2004 22:37 (twenty-two years ago)

March 23 I think.

― ben tausig, Thursday, 26 February 2004 22:55 (twenty-two years ago)

i downloaded the entire thing, i'm semi-familiar with all of the original songs, and it's pretty satisfying/awesome.

― russignon, Thursday, 26 February 2004 23:35 (twenty-two years ago)

Finally listened - fantastic! I'm WAY into the new arrangements. Tico is spot on about Dylan comparisons, lofty as they may seem to some of you purists. I'm definitely buying the LP version...not let down at all.

― roger adultery (roger adultery), Friday, 27 February 2004 03:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Very revealing interview, Ben. Good questions.

― roger adultery (roger adultery), Friday, 27 February 2004 04:42 (twenty-two years ago)

This is definitely the least mediocre thing he's done since Joya.

― adam (adam), Friday, 27 February 2004 16:41 (twenty-two years ago)

Urgh. I don't like to agree with Greil Marcus.

From Real Life Rock Top 10, in today's Minneapolis City Pages:

4) Bonnie "Prince" Billie, Bonnie "Prince" Billy Sings Greatest Palace Music (Drag City) Aren't tribute albums terrible? And this is a self-tribute album--smug versions of great Palace songs by Will Oldham, a.k.a. Palace--a whole new terrible genre.

― Jack Flack, Wednesday, 3 March 2004 20:41 (twenty-two years ago)

I admit this idea sounded better on paper and for all it's "hi-fi" claims, it's still pretty tame compared to modern Nashville (and not far off from a few of the more recent BPB releases).

I'd rate it average on a scale of crap to great though I do need to give it a few more spins.

― gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 3 March 2004 20:54 (twenty-two years ago)

So the rerecordings are more like 70s pop country than awful MMJ-style southern rock revival?

― Colin Beckett (Colin Beckett), Wednesday, 3 March 2004 21:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Sometimes I just don't understand you people.

― roger adultery, Thursday, 4 March 2004 00:12 (twenty-two years ago)

fuck greil marcus! i like it [alot] and that really is all that i care about.i used to let reviewers/reviews ruin my enjoyment of music/movies,ect.....

now if i like something,i enjoy it more for what i think of it.

― william (william), Thursday, 4 March 2004 00:41 (twenty-two years ago)

This new version of "Agnes Queen of Sorrow" sounds exactly like Gram/Emmylou.

― Colin Beckett (Colin Beckett), Thursday, 4 March 2004 03:47 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who noticed the Parsons thing going throughout much of this record. It's rather noticeable on Gulf Shores as well -- and I would like to agree with the upthread comment that the new version of that song is really stunning, one of the few songs that's really "improved", to my ears, on this record.

― cws (cws), Thursday, 4 March 2004 05:59 (twenty-two years ago)

three weeks pass...

I think this is a really nice album. I can't understand all the negative/conflicted reviews it's been getting.

― morris pavilion (samjeff), Monday, 29 March 2004 16:40 (twenty-two years ago)

i think the concept sounds better on paper than on record, he could have really pulled out the punches ("one with birds" anyone?) but he ends up sounding really silly a lot of the time.

― gygax! (gygax!), Monday, 29 March 2004 16:51 (twenty-two years ago)

See, I'm not the biggest Palace/Oldham fan, but I do know and like the original versions of most of these songs - and I think they sound quite fine this way. (The only one that sounds a bit silly to me is "Cinematographer.") Maybe it's better not to approach it through the whole "concept," since the arrangements don't seem to have a heck of a lot to do with "Nashville"? (Any more so than, say, a Silver Jews record.) It's just really pretty, musically, and the production is very nice.

I can see myself playing this more in the future than I do "Days in the Wake" or whatever.

― morris pavilion (samjeff), Monday, 29 March 2004 16:55 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm surprised no-ones compared it to Mark Eitzel's Ugly American yet, which really is a great self-tribute album.

― hsimah (hamish), Tuesday, 30 March 2004 03:23 (twenty-two years ago)

i dont like this record.

― jed_ (jed), Tuesday, 30 March 2004 11:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Ugly American is musically a really rich and beautiful album though (for those who don't know, the music was played by a traditional Greek ensemble). Is this (I haven't heard it)?

― anthony kyle monday (akmonday), Tuesday, 30 March 2004 16:52 (twenty-two years ago)

This perplexed me: last night, I had the "Greatest Palace Music" CD sitting around, with the back cover facing up... and my girlfriend angrily turned it over and snapped it down on the table, saying she didn't like looking at the weird-ass picture on the back. And we laughed - but then when I asked, "You've seen pictures of him before, though, right?" - it turned out she had NEVER heard of Palace or Will Oldham.

She's a few years younger than me, but she's pretty well-versed in '90s indie rock - she saw Pavement a bunch of times, has some early Sebadoh albums, likes Superchunk, etc. I always thought of Palace as a minor pillar of that whole scene - enough so that even though I wasn't a fan, I knew their albums from hearing them at other people's houses in college, etc.

And my roommate, who's several years older than me and isn't at all a '90s indie rock kind of guy (but is pretty into music), says he's heard of Will Oldham, but not Palace.

How could this be? Were Palace more of a regional (East Coast) thing? (Both these people are from California.) I just figured, if you know who Pavement and Guided By Voices and whoever else are, surely you've heard a Palace album or two!

― morris pavilion (samjeff), Tuesday, 30 March 2004 20:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Palace were very huge in California in the 90s. i saw him in sd, la, sf numerous times. aquarius, lou's, amoeba, no life, aron's all gave more than enough exposure to his new releases.

― gygax! (gygax!), Tuesday, 30 March 2004 20:18 (twenty-two years ago)

it turned out she had NEVER heard of Palace or Will Oldham.

This exact thing happened to me. I play in a band with two guys who are 3 or 4 years younger than I am and one that is 2 or 3 years older. I read about some Will Oldham tribute record on pitchfork and jokingly told my band we should do a song. They all looked at me with complete blank faces. These are all people who know a thing or two about indie rock, or any rock for that matter, and I was very surprised. Maybe it was a very specific time that Palace was huge?

― scott m (mcd), Tuesday, 30 March 2004 20:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Has Oldham ever been on the cover of Magnet? Can't remember one off hand.

― Mark (MarkR), Tuesday, 30 March 2004 20:49 (twenty-two years ago)

maybe the constant name changes just threw people off

― anthony kyle monday (akmonday), Tuesday, 30 March 2004 22:16 (twenty-two years ago)

i thought no one had heard of him until after the johnny cash thing

― tom west (thomp), Tuesday, 30 March 2004 22:28 (twenty-two years ago)

i mean, after that is when his records started being flagged by HMV and Amazon, i think..? 'master and everyone' is, at least, the first one i noticed

― tom west (thomp), Tuesday, 30 March 2004 22:29 (twenty-two years ago)

palace was always more culty than superchunk or pavement, that's for sure. I probably did know more people in the 90's who had heard of those bands and didn't listen to palace. also, for a LONG time, I just remember hearing from people that oldham was a giant pretentious university phony who affected the hillbilly-ness.

― anthony kyle monday (akmonday), Tuesday, 30 March 2004 22:45 (twenty-two years ago)

It's all about expectations. I could not ask for Oldham to record ten times the same-sounding lofi record, even if every single time i believe what he does aproaches perfection. That's one of the things that sets him apart from 95% of his contemporaries: they only make small changes to what they believe is their winner-formula, while oldham keeps on broadening his horizons. That's why a lot of artists who nowadays make palace-old-style-sounding-stuff are just plain boring: they are not original artists. Anyone who ties himself down to listening to 'indie' is just doing theirselves unjustice...
I must admit that during a first listen, i could only think about the 'originals', and found this record some sort of joke. But now, during the fifth listen, i'm thoroughly moved by - for example - the duelling voices of oldham and mary slayton, whereas before i would hear the slick voice of slayton apart from the total song. The part that shocks me most is reading comments like 'i thought this friend of mine knew a thing or two about indierock'. Who wants to know about indierock if there is a world of MUSIC to discover.There is great stuff around, you know, there's singersongwriters from Chile, reggaebands from Iceland and Appalachian scubadiving-clubs, who sing about what they saw beneath sealevel in a very moving way.
The only thing that keeps on hurting me is the thought that the ladies on 'pushkin' are singing 'god is the answer' with just that little too much conviction.

― stijn, Monday, 5 April 2004 00:15 (twenty-two years ago)

this album, one month on, that clearly wil oldham is one of the very few geniuses working in the world today in any field of endeavour. science, diplomacy, or the arts. this is a beautiful, beautiful record.

and the quacking noise on 'i send my love to you' is perhaps the single greatest recorded moment of this decade, besides perhaps the entirity of the new version of 'new partner'. or where bush started goin on about pakis.

― matthew james (matthew james), Sunday, 11 April 2004 17:21 (twenty-two years ago)

FWIW, I'm a tennessee hick and all the cool people I know thought Palace was the shit. I sure did.

― amateur!st (amateurist), Tuesday, 27 July 2004 02:33 (twenty-one years ago)

the tour EP where he segues from a Bob Marley song into Harry Nillson's "(can't live if living is) Without You" is honestly one of the most impressive vocal performances I've heard in a while.

― Kevin Erickson, Tuesday, 27 July 2004 09:24 (twenty-one years ago)

there's a new LP due later this year apparently. I cannot wait.

― hmmm (hmmm), Tuesday, 27 July 2004 11:25 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah - it's with "The Wolfman" aka Matt Sweeney

― roger adultery (roger adultery), Tuesday, 27 July 2004 16:24 (twenty-one years ago)

is he gonna play more double thumb country blues style like he did on that cat power song? ????

what is this "tour ep"? "????"?

― gygax! (gygax!), Tuesday, 27 July 2004 16:29 (twenty-one years ago)

Which Cat Power song is Oldham on?

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Tuesday, 27 July 2004 17:07 (twenty-one years ago)

none. he's talking about Sweeney, who, if memory serves, is on some of the early (better) stuff, like Myra Lee and Darling Said Sir.

gygax: there's a new tour ep, it's a split with Brightblack and they all do covers. Haven't heard it but may slsk it later if i remember to

Judging by the clips on iTunes, the schmaltz is at about level ten. BPB schmaltz is schmaltz I can enjoy though. Think I'll pick this up.

― circa1916, Thursday, 22 May 2008 05:09 (seventeen years ago)

"Beware" is actually pretty great. Two winners in a row from Oldham is something.

― Josh in Chicago, Saturday, 10 January 2009 02:34 (seventeen years ago)

My favorite Oldham album, by a mile, is for some reason the covers album he did with Tortoise in 2004 or 05, totally killer. I couldn't care much about the rest of his stuff, unfortunately.

― ilxor, Saturday, 10 January 2009 06:09 (seventeen years ago)

yeah i love the tortoise record, i fucking LOVE superwolf which is his best album ever IMO, "letting go" i thought was okay but sort of didn't really click...was "master and everyone" this decade? that's a beautiful record....the covers EP where he did R Kelly was great...and don't forget Summer in the Southwest that thing fucking RAGES super hard....

― ie: BANGING (M@tt He1ges0n), Saturday, 10 January 2009 23:53 (seventeen years ago)

also not to accuse you of anything hurting but have you listened to all that stuff i just posted?

cuz invariably whenever someone says "lol will oldham is washed up since the 90s" and i call them on stuff they've not actually listened to anything he's done.

― ie: BANGING (M@tt He1ges0n), Saturday, 10 January 2009 23:54 (seventeen years ago)

Posted... where? I do really want to hear this. I have heard plenty of his post-90s stuff. I have Ease Down the Road, Master and Everyone, Superwolf and the Tortoise collabo, all of which I think have good moments but are extremely uneven. Master and Everyone is probably my least favorite out of those. I didn't much like what I heard of The Letting Go and Greatest Palace Music. Haven't heard his other recent stuff -- (according to Wikipedia there's more than I thought).

― ichard Thompson (Hurting 2), Sunday, 11 January 2009 22:14 (seventeen years ago)

i agree that he seems to get better and better. not uniformly of course, some of the early stuff is as good as anything and there are some lazy tracks on recent albums (and i'm not a huge fan of the stunt that was the faux greatest-hits album), but some of his records from about 2003 i think are his best.

i haven't been keeping up with the tour-only, etc. live records he seems to be releasing every year or every other year.

― amateurist, Sunday, 11 January 2009 22:28 (seventeen years ago)

I'm not sure he's ever bettered I See a Darkness and Ease Down the Road... Letting Go is my favourite of his recent ones... A great record (I think) is also Get on Jolly. Gosh, don't people have different opinions about music sometimes!

― Wax Cat, Sunday, 11 January 2009 22:58 (seventeen years ago)

They sure do :) To me, 'Master and Everyone' is the one in which all Bonnie greatness came together, it's a gem. Vey hard to top that one. The Letting Go somehow didn't hit home, though Lie Down in the Light to me is some sort of return to form. On all acounts, looking forward to Beware very much.
And I enjoyed reading that New Yorker piece, thanks for the nod!
