Best Troubador, his new 2xLP tribute to Merle Haggard, is not his first covers album. In 2013, he paid homage to the Everly Brothers with Dawn McCarthy on What the Brothers Sang, and just last year, he covered the Mekons with Angel Olsen on Fantastic Voyage. Of the three artists, Haggard seems like the best fit for present day Bonnie Prince Billy: a singular force who found a way to age gracefully by following his own path-refusing to be pinned down even as he slows down

Best Troubador - Студийный альбом от Bonnie Prince Billy. В альбом вошло 16 треков. Продолжительность альбома: 54:33. Bonnie Prince Billy. Haggard (Like I've Never Been Before).

With Best Troubador, Bonnie 'Prince' Billy pays homage to a long-time and forever hero, the late Merle Haggard. The songs sung on Best Troubador are pulled from all over - from Haggard's third album in 1967 through to his 47th in 2011 - but this is no simple hits compilation.

Now streaming via NPR, the album sees Oldham, under his trusty Bonnie 'Prince' Billy moniker, taking a whistle-stop tour through Haggard's back catalog with tenderness and care for the work of one of his most-cited influences.

Talk about Bonnie Prince Billy - "Best Troubador"


Hirah
It's an okey album but I'd rather hear original music from Bonnie. His own stuff is more interesting than a bunch of already existing songs. Big part of Merle Haggard was his voice and Bonnie's voice is nothing like it. Here Bonnie is a bit lost. I don't know what this album is trying to be. The versions you got here are not that interesting. Bonnie could have atleast done something different than the usual acoustic repertoire. I would have liked an electronic new-age cosmic Merle Haggard as no one probably has ever done that. Bonnie had a chance here to do something different, make it count in some way, but he missed it. 3/5

No poster in my copy of this vinyl? Anyone got one???

This is a beautiful record. Unfortunately, on my copy, the first songs on Sides 3 and 4 have a fair amount of noise in the right channel.

Back cover appears to be missing a couple of track titles for side D. Unsure if intentional.
Trash Obsession
This is the first Drag City vinyl release I've ever seen that includes a digital download card.
