Bonnie Prince Billy 'sings Greatest Palace Music'. So this is Will Oldham cocking up his back catalogue (before someone else does it,  says Phil). Ok maybe its an ironic statement or a little dig  at his precious following but c'mon people he's taking the piss out of you. If I want a Garth Brooks record I'll fucking go and buy one. Some of this is not too far away from Toby Keith and you know what that represents. Glossy country music scares the shit out of me. So there. That said, some of these interpretations are quite lovely..... but only a few.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
