9: Bonnie "Prince" Billy - The Letting Go

Bonnie "Prince" Billy makes music that is gentle as the spring air. A pleasant softness that overtakes you when you feel the warmth of the sun and hear life motion relax all around you. He has a way about him that spans a broad range of emotions. Sometimes you expect complete madness out of him, which is why I have a hard time constantly tapping into the strange genius of Will Oldham. But every couple of years I need to get my fix. This year I felt that the time was right so I ventured back into this realm and find myself very satisfied with what I have discovered.
