Performing as himself, Palace Brothers, or Bonnie "Prince" Billy, Will Oldham has released more than twenty studio albums, along with EPs, singles, and music for film and television. He is a longtime denizen of Louisville, Kentucky.
"Songs of Love and Horror feels significant; [Will Oldham is] able
to make a connection directly, without the protective veil of a
moniker. The blue annotations that accompany each lyric in the book
offer his personal reflections. But as much as Oldham attempts
transparency, his music, which radiates humour, tenderness,
frustration and audacity, remains seductively mysterious."
*Wired*
"There aren't too many popular songwriters whose words can
withstand being read and scrutinised as poetry. Oldham's not only
stand up, but stripped of their melodic context, offer different
insights... Honest, wry, confessional, occasionally harrowing and
frequently laugh-out-loud funny, Oldham's lyrics make for enjoyable
and illuminating reading."

"His [Will Oldham's] book was more fascinating for me because
I knew fewer of the songs."
*Jude Rogers - New Statesman*
