Our Take

Bonnie Prince Billy, aka Will Oldham, has always been a musical enigma, defying easy categorisation with his blend of folk, country, and indie rock. On his latest release, "Best Troubador," Oldham pays tribute to the legendary Merle Haggard with a collection of covers that are as heartfelt as they are unexpected.

From the haunting rendition of "Mama Tried" to the stripped-down beauty of "If We Make It Through December," Oldham brings his own unique twist to these classic Haggard tunes. His hushed vocals and sparse arrangements give the songs a poignant melancholy that is hard to shake.

While some tracks may veer a bit too close to traditional country for some listeners' tastes, Oldham's willingness to experiment and take risks pays off more often than not. The album's standout track, "Silver Wings," is a masterclass in emotional storytelling, with Oldham's voice soaring over delicate guitar picking.

Overall, "Best Troubador" is a fitting tribute to one of country music's greats, with Bonnie Prince Billy's idiosyncratic flair shining through. Whether you're a die-hard Haggard fan or a newcomer to his music, this album is sure to leave a lasting impression. So grab your cowboy hat and dive into the world of Bonnie Prince Billy – you won't be disappointed.
