Troubador, Will Oldham (aka: Bonnie "Prince" Billy) has performed and released albums under various different pseudonyms including, Palace and Palace Music. His music is beautiful and honest; so honest that, at times, some may even consider it vulgur. His fans vary as much as his monikers, which may be explained through his [...]

Bonnie "Prince" Billy - Hey LittleI'm relaxing this Saturday morning after a really fun Friday night and Bonnie "Prince" Billy is just the sound I want to hear right now. While you may be hip to Will Oldham's new album Beware - possibly via my post on it in March - there was in fact a limited edition 10" EP released with his latest album. One of the songs featured on the EP is "Hey Little," a ...

The recent interview with Will Oldham in The Wire is coyly revealingabout his approach to the Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy moniker he has beenmaking music under for around ten years now. He describes it as quiteliterally another being he inhabits, often blending seamlessly with“Will Oldham” and not just present for his role as songwriter and performer.

Depending on who you ask, Will Oldham's show on Friday was either the most beautiful show to his Lexington in years (barring Jeff Mangum's appearance, naturally) — or a train wreck. Oldham's beautiful lyrics and his bands' well-crafted instrumentation were muddled or practically inaudible due to sound difficulties. However, I was in the front row [...]

*rating* 9.0*summary* the "Prince" releases the counterpoint to his previous masterwork, "I See A Darkness" - and leaves us wondering which is more terrifying.There are few heroes in the indie-world.In this landscape of conciousness connected almost solely on the single principle of popularity-as-poison it's near impossible for legends to manifest themselves - the bright flame of their influenc...

What is it about Will Oldham that seems to render so compelling any song on which he appears? His voice is immensely full of character, of course. But I think there is something more important still: the simple intensity of his performance."Performance" is, I think, key. Music recording technology allows musicians to splice together takes, "punch in" a re-recorded version of a vocal phrase that...

"MissBreadCrumb":CH made a post which got me thinking about all of you and what tunes do you listen to when you roll out of bed and head off to work.For me it depends on what type of a mood I'm in, but I've noticed that there are a few consistencies. ??Ease On Down The Road?? by Bonnie "Prince" Billy is an album I put on a lot in my mornings. There is a song on that album called "Knight At Nigh...

She made a sarcastic comment about me liking upbeat music on my last post...I can't have her going around ruining my hard earned reputation!So I present the saddest song I know...some call this depressing, I call it beautiful

I sometimes forget what a great songwriter Bruce Springsteen was. Or is...I don't mean to eulogize the guy, its just that I think sometimes I am guilty of overlooking him sometimes...probably because during my formative music years, he wasn't really on my radar so much...but he did pen some classics...just wanted to share this Bonnie Prince Billy version of 'Thunder Road'

I will forever associate all of Will Oldham's music with alcohol. I just love the downtrodden beauty of his songs...so stark, so beautiful. I am loving the new album...and I am getting thirsty,
