Title: White as the driven snow
Review: If you're familiar with will oldham, his style, his wit, you might find this album encompassing all...Like any of his albums, arise therefore primarily, it takes more than one or two listens to really appreciate...In fact, it took me about a month to really understand its own twisted poignancy- For example on the best friends number, "...and brought him to the waterline/, and constrained him while he struggled for air/ and as as i pulled him back and kissed him/, and we both went off in a hurry to the fair"...his understanding of the dydactic paradox of love and hate are brilliant, backwater, and touching to even the most cynical. Will's voice throughout the album is so much stronger than it used to be, as he's created his own sound based upon his earlier pubescent ramblings and those of the cowboys of yore...my roomate insists that this is music to listen alone to, or at least not while he's around, if you get my drift...a must have for palace fans...
