Heart of Darkness


TOP 50 ALBUMS OF ALL TIME- Part 2

In my opinion Will Oldham is the greatest living songwriter (a statement sure to enrage my Dylan obsessed brother !!!). This was his first album as Bonnie Prince Billy but he already had a massive back catalogue as Palace, Palace Brothers etc etc...all worth listening to.

A very very dark album ideally listened to just as you are drifting off to sleep.....but be warned, you may not want to wake up again.

I went to see Will at a gig in Glasgow last month and as usual he was spellbinding. A very humorous man....although it can sometimes be well hidden.
