Entertainment Reviews:
Spin - 12/95, p.123
8 - Very Good - "...Oldham's tunes are lovely and thorny, a bible-belt punk response to PJ Harvey's brimstone tangos....purer and wilder than any previous Palace outing....Palace leaves lo-fi country the way Elizabeth Taylor leaves husbands--proving one way to do something new is to hunker down and become weirdly, deeply more of what you already are."Q - 9/95, p.118
3 Stars - Good - "...Oldham is sometimes artfully artless, there's coherence to this reworking of the restless spirit of country blues..."Uncut - p.100
5 stars out of 5 -- "1995's magnificent VIVA LAST BLUES is simply recommended to all. Its medium for the most part a warm and even Stonesy folk-rock..."Melody Maker - 12/23-30/95, pp.66-67
Ranked #30 on Melody Maker's list of 1995's 'Albums Of The Year.'Melody Maker - 8/12/95, p.34
Recommended - "...the purest country I've heard since the Cowboy Junkies, but as spare as that band were ornate....Albini's production is pivotal...lending their unassuming strummings a powerful presence without requiring them to resort to the risible, c**try-rock, fiddly f***ery of 'Comes A Time'..."NME (Magazine) - 12/23-30/95, pp.22-23
Ranked #50 in NME's 'Top 50 Albums Of The Year' for 1995.NME (Magazine) - 8/19/95, p.49
8 (out of 10) - "...[Will Oldham] has expanded his sound--previously shaky, fragmented meta-country--to a richer mix of strafed and plucked guitars, jagged pianos and humming synths....his trademark croaking voice has strengthened....surreal, allusive and crookedly beautiful..."Tracks:
