[@MrRollingStone72]

I have just dicovered this guy. is it just me or is everyone else here in love with the idea of living a creative careless life?

Drove around the whole country some years ago. After a few weeks, the families stopped saying hello in the rest areas, but the truckers started greeting like I was one of theirs. Thanks for posting.

'Make those horses jump through hoops of flame'
My favourite line.

[@masseyrati3396]

This song is probably long in the past for Bonnie Billy himself, but it keeps on bringing great vibes for me. The video just adds to that, the theme of a trucker with his dog is simply fantastic, and complements the lyrics. Great stuff, this song ist just simply perfect.

Will Oldham worked with Tortoise (postrock), Sage Francis (hiphop), Scout Niblett, Angel Olsen, Jim o' Rourke and many many more. He made a Nashville-style album (Sings Greatest Palace Music), his early work is low-fi, he made brilliant covers of songs of Elton John, Danzig, Phil Ochs, Merle Haggard, Bob Marley, Nilsson, Leonard Cohen and many others. Sings in French, Spanish and English. Is an actor as well.
And yet you think it's time for some more variation?

If David Lynch ever does a civil war period piece, Will should do the soundtrack.

[@stfcgrey]

I remember a Guardian journalist comparing Will's talent to John Lennon. Some may find that amusing. I'm not laughing.

[@Myteathor]

A marine driving a Peterbuilt. Thats a common theme on the road.

[@patrickberry4557]

This is great but the live version is ridiculous - the guitar solo is absolutely sick.

[@ncf1]

I covered this, the original though, Norwegian Celery Farmers.

[@reidhb1]

How about Bonnie Prince Psycho-Billy? A little more metal punky punch?

[@buildmorefarms1007]

He has ill fitting dentures...

[@llifeform]

Simply a pure and excellent masterpiece :)
