Disc-O-Scope



Folk

Wily, woolly indie-Americana godhead Bonnie "Prince" Billy (Will Oldham) links up with Scottish psych-folkers Trembling Bells — picture a more lysergic latter-day Fairport Convention — for joint full-length The Marble Downs (Honest Jon's) and they get on just jolly. Spurred by the band's brassy frolics and trad-folk balladry, Oldham sounds friskier than he has in ages.
