...after reading about a new bonnie prince billy on ilm i downloaded sings greatest palace music off my fave p2p. with re-recorded versions of the following:.
New Partner
Ohio River Boat Song
Gulf Shores
You Will Miss Me When I Burn
The Brute Choir
I Send My Love To You
More Brother Rides
Agnes, Queen Of Sorrow
Viva Ultra
Pushkin
Horses
Riding
West Palm Beach
No More Workhorse Blues
I Am A Cinematographer

...the only track that does not work for me is "i send my love to you" not because of the arrangement,but because of the god awful "quack quack" that punctuates one chorus. it lowers the track to novelty status and basically ruins it for me. all of the other songs are really grate,with "pushkin","riding""more brother rides" and "the brute choir" in particular standing out for me. i am not a country fan,nor will this disc convert me,but i believe it will continue to get alot of play here because it is so special. definately my fave release so far this year. drag city has a release date of march 23/04. i hope to have it in my hands that week.
