Bonnie Prince Billy - Beware
Review by Robert Yates
Beware by Bonnie Prince Billy is an album that showcases the artist's versatility and songwriting prowess. The album features a mix of folk, rock, and country influences, with each track telling a unique story.
The opening track, "Beware Your Only Friend," sets the tone for the album with its haunting melody and introspective lyrics. "You Don't Love Me" is a standout track, with its upbeat tempo and catchy chorus. "I Am Goodbye" is a melancholic ballad that showcases Bonnie Prince Billy's emotive vocals.
The album also features collaborations with other artists, such as "You Can't Hurt Me Now," which features backing vocals from Dawn McCarthy. "I Will Be There" is a duet with Ashley Webber, which adds a layer of intimacy to the song.

Summary by Robert Yates
Comments
Love cannot hurt us now from a woman, man, and especially God the creator of pain and suffering.
Heavily underrated
3>
Feather plucking insanely good
that last vocal run is quite nice
what city is this?
‘Exile on main street’ and ‘Ween’s Country Album vibe’ both beautifully influenced here.
TRUKEY
You know, if I saw someone like this walking down my street, I would instantly think he was some super-hipster; probably some ultra-super but off-kilter cat seeking some cat-poo coffee for the studio guys in between breaks recording my latest Drag City release...
Nice t-shirt!!
always dope
surely you can't believe the only reason I went to see mr. oldham was to witness his beard in person
Sad if your only focused on a mans image and not his music.
so very sad he shaved before the tour
no, my boyfriend.
It's Turkish flag on his t-shirt...
