I just bought tickets to see Will Oldham aka Bonnie "Prince" Billy in Alexandria, VA on May 23. Now you probably don't know who he is. He's been releasing alt country music since the early 90's, under many different names; Palace, Palace Brothers, Will Oldham, and for a while now Bonnie "Prince" Billy. In 1999 he released an album called "I See A Darkness". It's as close to perfect as music can come. (I think) Other's have thought so as well. In fact Johnny Cash covered the title song off the album, with Will doing backing vocals. Will doesn't tour much and when he does it's not normally around here. So when I saw that he was going to be in VA on a Saturday I couldn't resist the opportunity.
P.S.He's also had some killer cover art.
