A rather tense and crackling acoustic performance from indie stalwart Will Oldham (Bonnie Prince Billy, Palace Music), that clearly demonstrates the man’s distinctive lyrical delivery and weathered persona.

My favorite Oldham works would have to be Bonnie Prince Billy’s I See a Darkness and Palace Music’s classic Viva Lost Blues. Recommended for fans of Tom Waits, Neutral Milk Hotel and Nick Drake.
