I prefer the version on "I See a Darkness."
Something that makes Will Oldham such an amazing artist is his willingness to return to his material again and again and find new life in it. I agree that the ISAD version is definitive, however this is a very inspired re-working. I look to Oldham's live records as much as his studio releases because I know the interpretations of old material will sounds as fresh as new songs. Can't wait for this.
the original version is much sadder, but I still like this one too.
Fine points, MFB.
This is pretty good. I couldn't get into Beware, but this could be a solid disc. Some of those Palace songs could use a non-sucky update.
How come this one isn't on the album (at least not on the dragcity website tracklist)? weird...
