Free Music Review: Royal Blue
Hit: 5 Stars

Will Oldham can be a hard man to track down. But for anyone that has been hooked along the way by any one of his incarnations -- Palace, Palace Brothers, Palace Music, or Bonnie Billy Prince -- this album is the essential. It is not as rigidly theme driven as Mountain or Arise Therefore, so for those that have been slow to own the whole collection, this album best displays the band's musical and decibal range. It blends both the signature hard-luck lullabies with some of the best get off your rocking chair, hell yeah I'll have another, boy I miss Drivin n Cryin, rock and roll songs this author has ever heard. Oldham's unique voice, often sounding like its echoing from the depths of a coal mine in his hometown Kentucky, will encourage you to pitch and roll along with him on tunes like "Work Hard, Play Hard" and "I am a Racing Horse," but the harmonies with his brother Ned Oldham will remind you why this family act has been crowned king by that group of discerning listeners and distinguished drinkers which lauds and laments with the likes of Uncle Tupelo, Vic Chestnutt, Lucinda Williams, Nick Drake, Billy Bragg, Willie Nelson, Jack Logan, and, if they behave, Son Volt and Wilco.

Viva Last Blues Poster

After the dead-Okie solo ballads of the previous full length release, Will Oldham (Mr. Palace himself) got an under-rehearsed band together and set them loose in the studio. Steve Albini's bare bones production is in plain view as drums scrape into the guitars with all the finesse of a basement tape. "More Brother Rides, " "Viva Ultra," "The Brute Choir," and "Work Hard/Play Hard" are the most rhythmic tracks Oldham's ever attempted and the improvisatory nature of the songs allow for some unexpected surprises (Liam Hayes' piano is a loose canon likely to veer off into another song while Bryan Rich's lead work is curiously incompetent at best). --Rob O'Connor
