Arise Therefore is the fourth studio album by Will Oldham. It was released in 1996 under the moniker Palace Music, although sometimes credited simply to "Palace". The album features David Grubbs, Ned Oldham, and a Mayatone drum machine credited as "Maya Tone". It was recorded by Steve Albini at Pachyderm Studio in Cannon Falls, Minnesota.

Kurt Wolff of AllMusic praised the lyrics, calling them "beautiful in their stark, pale honesty as often as they are indecipherable." - Wikiededia

I can't be dealing with this "Bonnie Prince Billy" business. His name is Will Oldham.

Viva Last Blues is the third studio album by Will Oldham. It was released under the moniker Palace Music on Drag City in 1995. The album features Oldham on vocals and guitar, and was recorded by Steve Albini.

Review by Peter J. D'Angelo

This incarnation of Palace, one of its more impressive, sees frontman Will Oldham turning out some of the strongest bleak country-rock in his career and taking the music in a few intriguing and even upbeat directions. With a great supporting cast that includes, among others, Sebadoh's Jason Loewenstein on drums and Oldham's brother Ned on bass, the group busts out laid-back twangy tunes that can really rock when the opportunity comes up. Most notably, tracks like "Work Hard/Play Hard" and the opening "More Brother Rides" are brimming with energy that may not overwhelm, but certainly provides a hefty backbone...

Will Oldham aka Bonnie Prince Billy leest elke ochtend twee LP’s lang. Zo leerde ik uit dit New York Times interview met Will over boeken en lezen.

Bijna geen één van de boeken of schrijvers die hij tipt, kende ik. Maar daarom lees je immers dit soort artikelen.

Verstopt in het artikel zit een zowat wegwerp-zinnetje; over wat de kern is van een liedje.

A song is this itty-bitty thing […]
