Album Review: Bonnie 'Prince' Billy - Singer's Grave A Sea Of Tongues

Will Oldham hits a sweet spot with this LP that sits comfortably between his folk and country domains and is laden with austere tales that explore the search for individuality and forging one’s own destiny.

Nearly all of these tracks have been released elsewhere, primarily on the 2011 album Wolfroy Goes To Town, yet these re-workings are more detailed and ornate with banjo, gospel backing vocals and violin providing a warm and moving soundtrack to Oldham’s songs. This is a beautiful BPB record that fans and newcomers alike will embrace.
