Will Oldham a.k.a. Bonnie "Prince" Billy: Peel Session, 8th August 2002.
Starting off our John Peel retrospective is one of my favorite musicians ever, the enigmatic Will Oldham, otherwise known as Bonnie "Prince" Billy, or Palace, or Palace Music, or Palace Brothers. The session was recorded on April 24, 2002 at the BBC's Maida Vale studio and broadcast 8th August 2002, with backing instrumentation and vocals provided by David Heumann. The setlist includes the bleak delight, "Death to Everyone", one of the standout tracks on the utterly magnificent I See A Darkness, an album everyone should own.

Thanks so much for these. Excellent stuff. I'll definitely be back for the Cat Power Peel Sessions, too.
PS - a big thank you for picking 'Option 3' when you were deciding... :)
great! i'll download these when I get home.
Do you think ISAD is the best in the Will Oldham canon? I'm kind of more of a `Days in the wake' fan.
