Joya (album)
''Joya'' is the fifth studio album by American musician Will Oldham. It was released on Drag City in 1997 as the first album billed to his name, rather than the Palace or Bonnie "Prince" Billy monikers. It also features Bob Arellano, Colin Gagon, and David Pajo. In 2007, when the album became available for download through iTunes, the artist credit was changed to Bonnie "Prince" Billy, with altered artwork reflecting the change. Critical reception Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic gave the album 4 out of 5 stars, saying, "it's a promising, ultimately unfulfilling record that doesn't quite prove whether Oldham is a songwriter of pretense or genuine talent." Rob O'Connor of ''Entertainment Weekly'' gave the album a B+ grade, calling it "hypnotic and sublimely bizarre."
