Bonnie Prince Billy

Since 1998, one American singer, songwriter and actor has been setting the rules: Will Oldham, aka Palace Brothers, Palace Songs or Palace (for short), who seems to have settled on the equally fanciful identity of Bonnie "Prince" Billy, to offer his major works, nourished by folk and hillbilly roots. But whatever the name on the record sleeves, he is regarded (particularly in France, where his records and live performances remain unanimously appreciated), as one of the major creators of American song. In February 2013, he released an album of Everly Brothers covers, with singer Dawn McCarthy, entitled What The Brothers Sang. The following year, perfectionist that he is, Will Oldham reworked some of the songs on Wolfroy Goes to Town, during Singer's Grave a Sea of Tongues. In 2016, he delighted his fans by bringing together the best of his Peel Sessions, recorded on BBC1, on the album Pond Scum .
