Beware (LP)
VINYL FORMAT. Breaking through the dirty and shooting upward into our atmosphere is a new variety of exotic Bonnie "Prince" Billy plant. Stronger. Stinkier. It blooms in low light and cold but thrives in the sun as well, showing enticing spots and eating small creatures as they wander into its jaws. They had it coming, they were weak...and you're next! Beware.
Though Beware shares spit with its immediate predecssor, Lie Down in the Light, its reach is longer, its arches more grandoise. Where fiddle and steel contribute their rustic timbre alongside guitars and voices, a thickening thud of low tone rolls beneath, giving the record a bottom that's fun to watch bounce in new clothes. This indensifies the air and heralds Beware as Bonny's most ambidextrous record to date -- even more so than The Letting Go! A liste nor two through and you too may conclude that this could also be the great Bonnie "Prince" Billy contempo-country record -- though, as always,the "Prince" goes his own special way, even when climbing the charts with brawny arms and classic titles like "I Don't Belong To Anyone," "You Can't Hurt Me Now," and "I Am Goodbye."
