		Viva Last Blues is an earthy, honest record that doesn’t toy with crafty instrumentation, mostly because it doesn’t have to.
		Viva Last Blues is a classic record that will never leave my collection, and I’m very happy that I own it.
		The winter blues can’t really get you down if you’re drinking a beer in a warm, cozy place with people that are into communally being comfortable and having a good time.

	Nude as the News: Palace Music: Viva Last Blues (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		His drawl of a voice can either be endearing -- like the friend by the campfire trying to entertain during the twilight hours -- or irritating, like the pretentious café "ahr-TEEST" that drowns out your conversation with his rambling lyrics.
		Gone in Viva Last Blues is any semblance of structure, as Oldham's teetering voice and cryptic lyrics don't ever seem to have any final destination.
		But, to dismiss the album as some sort of toss-off would be severely undermining some of its most beautiful songs.

		Viva Last Blues (Drag City, 1995) afferma comunque la sua vera voce.
		Oldham hides himself away in the cocktail lounge of Purgatory of Stablemate, in the silence blues of A Sucker's Evening and in the nearly imperceptible gospel of You Have Cum.
		If you can find a term which is the exact opposite of "jubilation" ("misery"?), you may use that to describe the hypnotic cadences and the morbid riffs of the bass which proliferate this album.

	Will Oldham (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Former Palace Brother Will Oldham -- the artist formerly not particularly well known as Push -- seems to have found himself, or at least lost the desire to cloak his rootsy exploits in various permutations of the Palace moniker.
		He's also made a full recovery from the rickety acoustic regression of last year's Arise Therefore (a Palace release on Drag City), instead picking up where '95's organ-, piano-, and electric guitar-fortified Viva Last Blues (a Palace Music release on Drag City) left off.
		Plugging back in, he leads a loose yet sure-footed ensemble through a dozen folk-based numbers that bring to mind the young Dylan and early Neil Young without sounding quite like either.

	DOA - Bonnie "Prince" Billy - Sings Greatest Palace Music
		"The Brute Choir" (originally from Viva Last Blues) is transformed from being a cacophony of Crazy Horse guitars and prairie dog vocals into a serene sweeping ballad and "I am Cinematographer" (from Days in the Wake) is turned into a joyous sing-a-along rave-up.
		Whilst of course "New Partner" (Viva Last Blues), "Agnes, Queen of Sorrow" (from the mini-album Hope), and "Gulf Shores" (a B-side collected on Lost Blues and Other Songs) were damn near perfect in their more primitive former lives, their reincarnations are still supremely affecting.
		An attempt to move "No More Workhorse Blues" (Days in the Wake) away from its dusty back-porch and on to a bigger musical platform only ends in an overwrought strangulation.

	who the heck is Bonnie "Prince" Billy? - Sound Opinions Message Board
		Yeah, he does have a lot of stuff...I've only heard "I See A Darkness" and Palace Music's "Viva Last Blues", both of which I like a lot, as well as a neat ep with Rian Murphy (of Drag City Records) called "All Most Heaven" that's worth finding...that might be my favorite disc of his.
		Odd character, though I remember coming across an interview with him in an unfamiliar to me music magazine at Borders, in which he attempted to explain his methods and deflate the strange mythology that seems to surround him.
		My personal five would be Viva Last Blues, Days in the Wake, Superwolf, and the two "Lost Blues" collections of singles and unreleased stuff.

	Songs: Ohia - Magnolia Electric Co. (Secretly Canadian)
		These same themes of "change" and "making it" are presented earlier in "I've Been Riding With the Ghost." The song's female backing vocals and fast-paced guitar lend themselves well to the songs imagery of riding and reaching a crossroads.
		The song sheds more light onto the core message of the album, that the blue collar worker is too easily swayed to live beyond their means and that those who can't live simply become imprisoned by debt.
		The demo for "Peoria Lunch Box Blues," however, is great; Niblett's delivery on the "official" recording is a distraction and misplaced, something like Christina Aguilera speaking at a Pittsburgh steel union rally.

		Last week, Hot 97 suspended Miss Jones for playing a wretched parody song mocking tsunami victims that prompted major advertisers to pull out, and inspired a dis response from Asian-American rapper Jin.
		Perhaps that's why, at her last NYC appearance, she truly shone on covers like "Mad Tom of Bedlam," when she laid down her fiddle and 21st-century self-consciousness and sang as if possessed.
		The epic opener, "My Home is the Sea," finds Oldham in rare form, recalling the loose whiskey-rock of Viva Last Blues with the pensive, bold lyrical precision that accompanies all of his best work.

	Throwaway Style: Thousand Pieces of Gold
		Oldham actually maintains that his songwriting is a product of his imagination, and that writing in any other way would be an perversion of life (listening to songs like "A Sucker's Evening," you're inclined to agree with him).
		Viva Last Blues was released under Palace Music on Drag City (a label which he is had long lasting relationship with) and recorded alongside Liam Hayes (piano & organ), Sebadoh's Jason Loewenstein (drums & additional singing) Ned Oldham (bass, slide guitar & additional singing) and Bryan Rich (lead guitar).
		Steve Albini actually holds production duties on this album, and while his influence isn't immediately apparent, there are some tracks that hang loose and rock on this album, Neil Young style.

	Hitsville 1/12/96
		This is the sound of a new blues, announced by the title track, as epic a statement of primordial lust as has ever been recorded.
		The milieu that spawned DJ-producer Tricky is an ethereal drug music called trip hop, which like many musical subcultures is probably a dead end as far as a pop breakout goes.
		But like Portishead's Dummy last year, the dramatic Maxinquaye emanates sounds from a tough emotional netherworld of by turns lulling and arresting dance music.

		Palace is "Viva Last Blues" at the recommendation of Doron, and actually pretty poppy (for Palace).

		Will Oldham's Guarapero/Lost Blues 2 is more a precious pile of scraps than it is a great album.
		The remnants of Lost Blues to sort through are diverse in quality and style as they span the course of seven years.
		But for others of you-- and you know who you are-- Lost Blues 2 is an irresistible bundle of odd and ends which has the potential to contain that note or phrase which unsettles.

		Much quieter than Viva Last Blues and less-Appalachian in its folk spirit than Palace's earlier music, the songs on Arise, Therefore shift and moan with breathy cracks and shivers; Oldham's meandering, poet-speak vocals; and guitar accompanied by his brother, Ned's bass, David Grubbs' piano, and (surprise!) a Maya Tone drum machine.

	TrouserPress.com :: Palace Brothers
		The fuller tone of these songs, colored to a great degree by Liam Hayes' Hammond organ, is reminiscent of Dylan's initial Nashville forays — particularly the hypnotic "Agnes, Queen of Sorrow."
		Hayes makes his presence felt even more expansively on Viva Last Blues, which sees another change of name (this time in order to pay tribute to Palace Music, the sire of superstar racehorse Cigar).
		With more reliance on organ, piano and what sounds like analog synth (although none is credited), songs like "Tonight's Decision (and Thereafter)" and "New Partner" advance a bit too far into country-rock territory, but there are enough moments of utter obsession (like the ecstatic "Old Jerusalem") to satisfy unreconstructed Luddites.

		Portland, Oregon is home to many great things: Stumptown coffee, more public parks per capita than any other U.S. city, and enough talented bands to last a lifetime.
		I sat down with my new favorite band, Cherry Wolf, a trio drawing attention for their eclectic sound and unique lyrics, and tried to find out what it is exactly that makes them so damn special.
		We also wrote a song called the “Boiled Potato Blues” and they stole that too but changed the title to the greatly inferior “Soda Pop Blues.”

		On Palace Music's Viva Last Blues (Palace/Drag City Records PR4/DC65), a minimally miked recording of a unique folk/rock band by the great Steve Albini, the PH-3 rendered individual instruments—acoustic and electric—lead singer Will Oldham's whiny voice, and the room in which the band was playing, with Viewlex-like three-dimensionality and authority.
		And if you need that last bit of resolution and detail on top, you might prefer the 3A's phono section, despite its weaker bass control.—Michael Fremer
