Best Troubador: Vinyl 2LP
With âBest Troubadorâ, Bonnie âPrinceâ Billy pays homage to a longtime and forever hero, the late Merle Haggard.
A singer who, some 25 years previously, first performed in public by playing a Merle Haggard song, Bonny has often cited Merleâs work in performance, on records and in conversation with anyone who was around, even talking to Merle himself for Filter magazine in 2009.
âBest Troubadorâ flips through his song book, landing on pages unmoored from their time and located anew. Moving from 1978 to 1969 to 2003 to 1981 allows the album to circle Haggardâs music in a simulation of thought and memory, slipping around from spot to spot as if they were discrete impressions, unknown but knowable yet.
Double LP includes bumper sticker and digital download code. Press - Reviews in The Line Of Best Fit. Ads in Mojo, Uncut, Loud & Quiet, Crack.
Online - Uncut, CMU, The Line of Best Fit, Consequence of Sound, The Ransom Note, Thank Folk For That, Stereoboard, Americana, Pitchfork, Rolling Stone.
