Bonnie "Prince" Billy on Latest Louisville V-Day Comp
When it comes to amorous types and their amorous undertakings, there's no better place to be than Louisville, Kentucky. At least, that's what the folks behind the Louisville Is for Lovers website and compilation series keep trying to tell us. Weird, since all those Slint and Rodan records I've played for my significant others have only scared them away. Maybe I should have been rocking the My Morning Jacket?
Or how about the Will Oldham? Oldham, in his Bonnie "Prince" Billy guise, features on the latest Louisville Is for Lovers comp, Vol. 8. He's joined by the Phantom Family Halo (which includes Michael McMahan of David Pajo's Dead Child), and, well, a lot of bands non-locals may not know so well. But hey, that's what love's about, right? Taking chances? Embracing the unknown? Sure it is.
LIFL Vol. 8 is available now via several Louisville shops and Louisvilleisforlovers.com, so you have plenty of time to snatch up a copy before Valentine's Day. While you're there, why not check out the previously mentioned Louisville Babylon Halloween comps as well?
Thanks to
Zach Willenbrink for the tip.
