Bonnie Prince Billy's real name is Will Oldham and he is from my hometown of Louisville, KY. He has some albums under the name Will Oldham,. Palace Brothers, Palace Music, and Bonnie " Prince' Billy. It's all the same guy. He has been releasing albums since about 94, or 95 and has many EP's as well, with two or three songs on them. Overall, I have probably like 12 of his albums/EPs.
He is getting popular across the world, and you should be able to find his CD's/ Records at hip record stores
@gabehampton And he also has records released under the name PALACE, as well as Palace Brothers, and Palace Music. You can find a lot of his videos and songs under his different names on Youtube. He even has a video where he stars with Zack Galifinakis and they are ridng a tractor and lip-sycnhing the Kanye West song ' Can't Tell Me Nothin' "
I guess the sycophants don't like people speaking blasphemy on their artist. I'll take Kells for my money, too and I'm a big Oldham fan (but a bigger Kelly fan).
Poor use of the term "sycophant" as it would be hard to flatter Oldham for our own benefit on the internet. Odds are he's not reading this and tallying the points.
I like Oldham's version too, but your criticism of the the use of sycophant is pretty literal and actually way off. You're a simple minded reader 4ourthofjuly, must be an american.
No, you've just misused the term. If you drop the self seeking part, you've lost the meaning of the term. I'm sure everyone still knew what you meant, but that doesnt change the fact that you didnt use the term well.
bonnie prince billy is my second cousin.... my name: Will Oldham, what a coincidence! I seem to get his mail on a occasion too, hes a nice guy.

@Frankieireland Best R Kelly line: "May I remind you that I am the king of R&B? I'm a flirt." No reminder needed!

R Kelly's songs are hilariously egocentric.

There's some kind of undeniable quality in a man who can make me enjoy an R. Kelly and Tim McGraw song.

This is good if you enjoy folk music, still, I like R. Kelly's version far more. Kells' version if far more touching and inspiring.
