Bonnie Billy - More Revery

Bonny Billy - More Revery

TEMPORARY RESIDENCE RECORDS

 

In the year 2000 – shortly after releasing what would become his most iconic album, I See A Darkness – Will Oldham aka Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy retreated to his family’s farmhouse with the majority of the I See A Darkness lineup in tow to record a half dozen covers of some of Oldham’s favourite songs.

The track listing is, as expected, inspired and eclectic: John Phillips, PJ Harvey, Bill Withers, The Renderers, John Holt, and Tim McGraw. Bonny Billy’s renditions are equally inspired and eclectic, ranging from slow-burning uneasiness to uncharacteristic jubilance.

Reissued by Temporary Residence Ltd. in 2016 and expanded to include rare live versions of the entire album.
