PALACE BROTHERS - There Is No One That Will Take Care Of You LP
DOMINO (REWIGLP 80)
Released on June 1993. "On 'There Is No-One What Will Take Care of You," Oldham sounds like a lost-lost cousin of the Louvin Brothers who, after ending up on skid row, is equally convinced that Satan is real, since he smells his foul breath every waking moment of his life. Oldham's stark, intimate tales of sin, lust, alcohol, and hopelessness are fascinating, horribly compelling stuff, and while it would be easy for this material to sound ironic or condescending, it isn't -- Oldham makes his characters' shame, confusion, and desperate search for grace real and genuinely moving." --Mark Deming, All Music Guide
