Although there are only a few songs on this album, I find myself picking this one a lot when I am in the mood for Will Oldham music. Great interpretations of these songs; the price might be prohibitive but I think at $20 probably worth it.

Note: What's amazing is that with only three reviews prior to this one, ALL THREE contain false information. This IS a re-release (of Travels in Constants Volume 7--see http://www.temporaryresidence.com/descriptions/travels.php), but NOT on Lost Blues 2! This re-release, also out of print, is a studio version with a few extra instruments not on the original (piano, for example) and the audience noise cleaned up.

this is not a re-release. and none of these song appear on the lost blues album. but this is a great ep of cover songs....

this is not a rerelease, nor are there any of these songs on lost blues 2. but this is a great ep of covers........

I rarely listen to this album. When I first heard it I was shocked by the bigger, louder sound that a few of the songs have. Usually the poor production quality of his albums is charming and leads to a forlorn atmosphere, but on songs with louder instruments and vocals the low quality makes it sound like a demo tape at times rather than a rustic recording. If you're just starting to fill out your Will Oldham collection then I suggest you pick something else. It does grow on you, but it's not canonical, classic Oldham.

this record is a re-release....anyone that has the original knows that all tracks were live (some included in "lost blues 2")...but now will has led the flock into the studio to reinterprate his own work.....far more clarity this time around, with nothing but sullen stares and frothing screams filling the void......when he sings i believe i am hearing the truest genius....living proof that times are not always bleak amongst the silly pop readings of the moment.....
