Bonnie Prince Billy played Joe's Pub | Kicks off Record Store Tour & more 2006 Tour Dates

This past weekend I missed all four Bonnie Prince Billy (Will Oldham) / Hazel Dickens shows at Joe's Pub in NYC....

BPB & CAPTAIN ANOMOANON @ JOES PUB | AUG 6, 2006 (CRED)

The Oldham brothers, sitting three in a row with acoustic guitars and matching white chinos, opened the show with a set of well-selected covers.Their three voices crisscrossed and harmonized on numbers like "Tell Old Bill," a chronologyblurring traditional song about the death of the title character. Will's voice was nuanced and haunted, rising above the others to punctuate certain phrases; Ned's was full of creaking country flourishes.The two seemed to treat the show as a learning opportunity for young Paul, the baby of the group and the least experienced performer. He sounded flat and shy as his brothers pushed him out of the nest on a few solo verses. [NY Sun]
