Loved the first few Palace singles & albums at the time and have grown to despise the sound of Will Oldham's voice pathologically, the way some people JUST CAN'T LISTEN to Tom Waits or (and I can't personally even fathom this, but) Dylan. Every record felt less like he was tapping into some deep mysterious well and more like he was half-assing his way along. Might have been me & the times, though. Viva Last Blues for me was like his Loaded and everything else was postlogue.
Loved "Horses", "Ohio River Boat Song" and "For the Mekons Et Al" immoderately. "Riding" was it for me from this record, altho also loved "Drunk at the Pulpit" (have always been a sucker for a novelty hit)

Ach, forgot about "O Paul" which I should have voted for. It was going to close off my mixtape of "Paul" songs tenderly (I had an excellent friend named Paul)... but I could only find a smattering of others so that C-60 never got filled.

Listening to this album now for the first time in a long time... I still vote "Riding" but I totally forgot about "Long Before."

Oh man, Long Before is amazing.
