Bonnie ´Prince` Billy - Best Troubador

NEW VINYL LP ON DOMINO 2023

180 GRAM VINYL

If we could fly through the songbook of ol' Hag, we could come up with a thousand different ways to go down the mighty road he walked in his long life making records. But none would be as sweet and stalwart as ol' Bonny's.  *'Best Troubador'* flips through his song book, landing on pages unmoored from their time and located anew. Moving from 1978 to 1969 to 2003 to 1981 allows the album to circle *Haggard's* music in a simulation of thought and memory, slipping around from spot to spot as if they were discrete impressions, unknown but knowable yet. Dedicated to new life and old, Best Troubador is wistful and bittersweet and no lament at all but a tribute instead, for the triumph of a life spent in unending pursuit of the goal: new and expressive music, as our inspirations and heroes once sang it.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Will_Oldham
