5 stars Y'all. It's the B sides.
This album isn't Lost Blues, no. While Lost Blues is the most direct Oldham-as-Palace release because it's the A sides of singles, this is a collection where he stretches out as a songwriter. There are loud songs, songs with fiddles, a drum machine and tape hiss. Between it all is arguably Will's most raw crooning! If you prefer Lost Blues and its like with the melodies of Bonny Billy, fair enough, but this collection is the flipside and just as frequently transcendent.

3 stars Only to make your collection more complete
When Ode Music came out in January, I was eagerly anticipating Will's new cd, but I am a little disappointed with this second Lost Blues cd. It mainly offers you a sloppy collection of old stuff and alternate takes of old songs. Real Palace fans will buy this cd no matter what, but if you're just beginning to discover Will's music, then start elsewhere, I'd suggest. But anyway, most of the songs are still quite good, but this cd was hardly a surprise to me and left me wanting for more and better…
