Ep. 137: Will Oldham talks about "Babble" by Kevin Coyne and Dagmar Krause and some other stuff... It was such an honor to get to talk to Will Oldham as I've been a fan of his music and film work for decades. This chat is based on an album called "Babble" by Kevin Coyne and Dagmar Krause made in 1979 that had a huge impact on his life and music. That led to chatting about another album that was a huge influence "Hi, How Are You" by Daniel Johnston. Then we get into theater and more. Will was so thoughtful, generous, and kind to talk to. I have to admit to this being one of the biggest honors I've had so far in doing the podcast. Please enjoy and make sure to listen to both albums (before or after). About Will Oldham Will Oldham makes music as Bonnie Prince Billy, and has done so for more than a quarter of a century.
