2004, Drag City
This incarnation of Palace, one of its more impressive, sees front man Will Oldham turning out some of the strongest bleak country rock in his career, and taking the music in a few intriguing and even upbeat directions. With a great supporting cast that includes, among others, Sebadoh’s Jason Loewenstein on drums, and Oldham’s brother Ned on bass, the group busts out laid-back twangy tunes that can really rock when the opportunity comes up.

Customer Reviews




Hunter MackThis album has few peers in terms of beauty, emotion, and gravity. Oldham crafts a work that will stand the test of time, making generation after generation jealous of his songwriting skills.
