Music reviews of There Is No One What Will Take
Music Review: Harvard hillbilly hipster sings like a phlegm-plagued frog
Rating: 5 Stars
OK, so Will Oldham, aka "Palace Brothers," is really nothing more than a smirking, erudite, cappucino drinker/indie rocker. But at least he makes music that is so absolutely absurd, creepy, and beautiful, I must forgive him for dropping his album-sales dollars in all the retro diners of Manhattan. And I find that transgression hard to forgive. This album is absolutely stunning. Using nothing more than a banjo, an acoustic guitar, and a cracking voice that makes J Mascis sound like Celine Dion, Oldham performs the most haunting hillbilly hellfire hoedown these ears have ever heard. Of course, I live in a major East coast metropolis that boasts running water and futuristic luxuries like phones, so maybe I just haven't heard enough of this kind of thing, but still. On the album, Oldham sends shout-outs to his homeboy Satan, his dead mom, incest, body-cavity odors, whiskey, Paul, and lots of other fun stuff. It leaves one wondering if it was recorded on the bridge under which Burt Reynolds and Jon Voight canoed. Ned Beatty probably shudders and shouts "don't pull my ear, don't pull on my ear!" every time somebody pops this CD in a stereo. And seriously, its authenticity is remarkable, considering its Ivy-educated source. It manages to be pretty, frightening, and funny at once. So Bravo, Will! Have a double decaf cappucino on me, you hipster dufus. A great album to have, if you like to drink and brood to twisted country.
Description of There Is No One What Will Take
All products are BRAND NEW and factory sealed. Fast shipping and 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed.It sounds as if it were recorded in the back of a barn or on the front porch of a farm in Kentucky with a single microphone to simulate the feel of an old Folkways field recording. The ensemble cast mixes and matches banjos and poorly strummed acoustic guitars with the occasional synthesizer piercing through the mix. The songs have an odd old-world fascination about them ("Riding," "I Had a Good Father and Mother," "I Tried to Stay Healthy For You") and the singer's delivery is untutored by pitch. --Rob O'Connor
