Album Notes & Community Reviews

Will Oldham returns with an incredibly intimate, acoustic-driven folk record recorded entirely live in a room with local Louisville musicians. The album eschews heavy rock instrumentation for delicate acoustic guitars, violins, and brass, offering a warm, philosophical, and intensely poetic meditation on community and aging.
