Plantive, Melancholy, Brooding & Fantastically Brilliant....

(5 out of 5 stars)

"William Oldham (bonnie `Prince' Billy), finds himself alone in seemingly single-handedly broadening the possibilities of contemporary folk & Country music, thereby exploring downtempo emotional acoustic music to it very limits. It's an album of intimate melancholy, beautifully gloomy & deceptively complex. His songwriting continues to expand & grow in composition, and William knows how to pull magnificent performances from just the most minimal of melodies...."May It Always Be" & ""After I Made Love to You", are quietly understated tracks, yet contain a full body of emotions in a wonderfully plaintive way. William has this magnificent ability of being seemingly troubled & disparate, yet immediately charismatic, in a way few artists are able to convey. As with virtually all of William solos albums, there are too few tracks on his albums (in this case 12 tracks), and the combined running time is barely over half an hour, but William hands in such a splendidly balanced & delightful album, that such trivial quibbles are redundant."
