by which I mean Billy's others
It's typical Will with better guitar
Since you can download it and it takes up a good duration of the record, just get "Blood Embrace" and call it a download
I was so wrong...

I was so sexist. I thought that only female musicians could convey the kind of emotions that this album so easily demonstates. It's not "feminine" to me per se. It's just deep. There is something special going on here. It's so hard to find albums with substance, let alone a masterpiece. I highly recommend.

This album is simply amazing. The intro, "My Home is the Sea", illustrates the powerful combination of Oldham's lyrical talents and Sweeney's musical backing. "Superwolf" is worth every penny. Now, let's get some early Oldham stuff on itunes.
Well Worth Buying

I bought this album about a year ago. Then I didn't give much thought to it after about one and a half listens. Trying to get in touch with some more folkish music I picked this one up again. I am so pleased with the product that Sweeney and Will Oldhelm (I"m not sure if this is how to spell it, my bad). I am completely in love with the first three tracks and the very last song on this album especially. If you are a fan of Oldhelm's other work or a lover of that NIck Drake and Iron & Wine sound, this album will be up there with your favorites. Give it a shot. You won't regret it.
Modern Classic...

It's good to see Bonnie 'Prince' Billy (Will Oldham) finally getting some attention on iTunes. This is a beutiful album from start to finish. Will Oldham wrote the lyrics for Matt Sweeny to write music around, and the result is an amazing instant classic. Clocking in a just over 2 minnutes, "I Gave You" is one of my all time favorite songs. Oldham's great unique voice, and old school lyrics, along with Sweeny's unique guitar meld great together. BUY IT AND LOVE IT!!
