Bonnie 'Prince' Billy - Lie Down in the Light

Will Oldham has been putting out music for decades now under several different aliases (Palace, Palace Brothers, Will Oldham, and most importantly, Bonnie 'Prince' Billy).

This is, in my opinion, his best album to date. Along with a backing cast that includes his brother Paul, Will sings through twelve tracks of beautiful alt-country classics. Normally, I'm more of a folk-punk guy, but Oldham really brings together all of the best elements of alt-country together to make one gem of an album.

I've decided to start doing an out of ten ratings system, just to classify my particular tastes in music a little easier. So without further ado, Lie Down in the Light gets:

9.2/10
