{"product_id":"bonnie-prince-billy-the-letting-go-lp","title":"Bonnie Prince Billy - The Letting Go (LP)","description":"\u003cp\u003eOn one hand, Will Oldham (a.k.a. Bonnie \"Prince\" Billy) seems to have journeyed a long way from his recordings with Palace Music in the 1990s--which featured a ragged, lo-fi\/indie take on backwoods, old-timey American folk--to the comparatively clean, thoughtful, and mature sound of 2006's THE LETTING GO. On the other hand, Oldham's course has remained true in its use of a spare, even stark, singer-songwriter mode to convey complex feelings and observations rendered through his creaky voice and literate, associative lyrics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike 2003's MASTER AND EVERYONE, THE LETTING GO is a quiet, introspective record that examines the human heart, but the songs here equal or better those on its excellent predecessor. Oldham's insight into the politics of self and relationships is unflinching, and his wordplay--which balances surreal poetry with heartbreaking confessionals--is at its peak. Sonically, THE LETTING GO is expansive, adding strings, subtle percussion, and ambient effects that enhance but never crowd the songs. Harmony vocalist Dawn McCarthy contributes gorgeous textures to the mix of blues, country, folk, and minstrel-like elements, and all of it makes a persuasive case that Oldham has grown into an artist of striking vision and emotional power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock, Folk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemember, for our lowest prices, always order directly from \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(184, 49, 47);\"\u003e Joco Records\u003c\/span\u003e!\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack Listing:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA1        Love Comes To Me    4:31\u003cbr\u003eA2        Strange Form Of Life    3:46\u003cbr\u003eA3        Wai    3:37\u003cbr\u003eA4        Cursed Sleep    5:35\u003cbr\u003eA5        No Bad News    4:45\u003cbr\u003eA6        Cold \u0026amp; Wet    2:21\u003cbr\u003eB1        Big Friday    2:43\u003cbr\u003eB2        Lay And Love    3:50\u003cbr\u003eB3        The Seedling    4:36\u003cbr\u003eB4        Then The Letting Go 5:19\u003cbr\u003eB5        God's Small Song    4:03\u003cbr\u003eB6        I Called You Back    7:51\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Joco Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48097519567107,"sku":"TAR3RA-LWQL-00","price":26.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/phishstonesproducts.myshopify.com\/products\/bonnie-prince-billy-the-letting-go-lp","provider":"PhishStones Products","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
