Bonnie “Prince” Billy to Release Covers Album

Prolific indie folk artist Bonnie “Prince” Billy (who also goes by Will Oldham and a handful of other monikers) will release a new album of cover songs on November 20 via Drag City. The album, Ask Forgiveness, features a wide-range of selections, including Björk’s “I've Seen It All” from the soundtrack to Dancer in the Dark, Danzig’s “Am I Demon” from his 1988 self-titled debut, and R. Kelly’s “The World's Greatest” from the Ali soundtrack.

Bonnie “Prince” Billy is no stranger to odd musical pairings. Earlier in the year, he was seen dancing along with comedian Zack Galifianakis in a video for Kanye West’s “Can’t Tell Me Nothing.” He also contributed a track – a lo-fi cover of Mariah Carey's “Can't Take That Away” – to the compilation album Guilt By Association from Engine Room Recordings.

Fans can expect a minimal, stripped-down sound on Ask Forgiveness. The songs were recorded in Philadelphia with Maggie Wienk (cello) and Espers’ Meg Baird (vocals) and Greg Weeks (electric guitar).

The tracklist for Ask Forgiveness:

1. I Came Here To Hear The Music
2. I've Seen It All
3. Am I Demon
4. My Life
5. I'm Loving The Street
6. The Way I Am
7. Cycles
8. The World's Greatest

BoDeans Brace for Comeback

The BoDeans’ Kurt Neumann and Sammy Llanas were on a roll in the mid-’90s when their song “Closer to Free” was chosen as the theme for television series “Party of Five.” The tune earned an ASCAP award in 1996 for being one of the most played at radio that year, according to the band’s bio.

But in the early 2000s, priorities changed as the group got tied up in separate legal battles with its manag
