Hit: 3 Stars
Not a "bad" cd, but definitely not what one would expect from Mr. Oldham (or as I guess that's the point). From my selfish perspective, I always tend to pick up BPB's latest offering ready to have a completely NEW cd and music listening experience. In each new song on each new release, there always seems to be surprises, which keeps the music of BPB interesting. Sure on this offering there was the initial surprise of "holy!!! This is a straight Nashville country cd!!!", but the surprise wore thin quickly (i.e. not much a surprise after the 4th song with the same type of guitar in the background).Not being a huge fan of Nashville based country, I didn't really get into this. Plus with the 100's of "alternate" versions of these songs already floating on the internet from live shows, was it necessary to "redo" them again? I think I would have rather seen a "formal" live release than this.
Not a bad CD, but I just can't see this cd getting as much "air time" in my cd player as his previous releases. I would highly recommend the Nicolai Dunger "Tranquil Isolation" CD if you're a completist of Will Oldham, and still haven't picked it up yet, rather than this.
