Performer Notes

While the 2006 Bonnie "Prince" Billy album THE LETTING GO was full of intense, spooky art-folk that found Will Oldham (Billy) accompanied by the ghostly voice of Faun Fables singer Dawn McCarthy, the appropriately titled LIE DOWN IN THE LIGHT lets the sunshine in. Oldham's elliptical wordplay retains its mysterious magic, but the settings for the majority of the tunes are warm, amiable country-folk, clip-clopping along at a friendly pace and bearing a casual front-porch atmosphere. Oldham's got another female singing partner here, but this time it's Ashley Webber of the Canadian band The Organ, and their vocal exchanges have more of a Conway Twitty-and-Loretta Lynn-gone-indie-folk feel.
