When Will Oldham first appeared on the scene with the first Palace Brothers records many folks were squealing "its just country music " from behind their Slint records. Its a measure of the man's influence that several years on theres a breed of people that want to sound exactly like him. A lot of them crop up on the new Eye of the Beholder compilation CD on Tract Records. A lot of the stuff on here is really good and it features such people as Devandra Banhart, Homeland, Adrian Crowley, Rivulets and Sodastream all with exclusive tracks. But I would say that about 10 or so tracks sound like or were heavily influenced by Will Oldham. This is the 3rd in the series so it's called Eye of The Beholder IIITracklisting for ya
