Bonnie Prince Billy aka Palace, Palace Brothers, Palace Music or Will Oldham is called a songwriter. That is to say, a man who writes songs ... One can 
ask what exactly are the others, but have the honor to be considered as such is not given to everyone. The ultimate reward is deserved. First of all the songs are of unfathomable melancholy, sad and beautiful at the same time, they exude little joie de vivre. The lyrics are often as short stories about the life of every day. The man is rather lonely miser confidences, rarely speaking to reporters and is not the type to go out with her friends sing in Chinese karaoke on Saturday night. This apostle of alternative country, (neo-country, country lo-fi) and a folk ballads sung sorry for a breath of patient voice is nevertheless a prolific author 
various names (see "Viva Last Blues" and "Arise, Therefore" under the name Palace Music). Even if the songwriter does not always recognition of the general public, he is revered by those who know and highly esteemed by the press. Bonnie Prince Billy will finally receive the ultimate prize on the day Johnny Cash resumed " I See A Darkness "on Solitary Man ( a masterpiece absolute must have!). Title taken from the eponymous album the pouch that says a lot about general atmosphere. Our Happy Man will release one of the best album of 2006, " The Letting Go " he will play at the Trianon in Paris in March. This man is a true goldsmith melancholy
As a bonus, a friend of the same caliber ...
