Bonnie Prince Billy Sings Greatest Palace Music

Bonnie Prince Billy returns with "Bonnie 'Prince' Billy Sings Greatest Palace Music." Not exactly a greatest hits record, but not exactly a covers record, either, as Bonnie 'Prince' Billy (aka Will Oldham) covers the greatest hits of Palace Music (aka Will Oldham). Basically, it's Will Oldham, in the guise of Bonnie Prince Billy, reinterpreting his older works. The result is 15 stripped-down, exquisitely brutal and poetic songs. As Boomkat said, "Make no mistake -- this is Bonnie Prince Billy's most commercial collection of tracks to date, so much so that you wouldn't bat an eyelid if you had heard these tracks on Nashville FM, but the man just retains that certain indefinable edge that never ceases to tug at the heartstrings. Listen to the magnificent 'Riding,' for instance, and you’ll know exactly what we mean."
