...latter harmonized in a higher register while covering most of the guitar work himself. Indeed, Oldham would often swing his axe behind his back and concentrate on singing, switching between stances and making a variety of gestures with his hands that ranged from clasped-swinging to hip-hop-esque gun-slinging...
