"Singer/sometime-actor Will Oldham goes by "Prince" but doesn't make doves cry, and he's prone to lyrical metaphors approaching Dadaism. Move past the scattered arrangements of his latest record—ostensibly about love—and you'll find a sweet throwback to classic American folk with appealingly nonobvious melodies. Nothing to fear here" ("Playlist," Wired, 3/09, p. 44).
