While the 2006 Bonnie "Prince" Billy album THE LETTING GO was full of intense, spooky art-folk that found Will Oldham (Billy) accompanied by the ghostly voice of Faun Fables singer Dawn McCarthy, the appropriately titled LIE DOWN IN THE LIGHT lets the sunshine in. Oldham's elliptical wordplay retains its mysterious magic, but the settings for the majority of the tunes are warm, amiable country-folk, clip-clopping along at a friendly pace and bearing a casual front-porch atmosphere. Oldham's got another female singing partner here, but this time it's Ashley Webber of the Canadian band The Organ, and their vocal exchanges have more of a Conway Twitty-and-Loretta Lynn-gone-indie-folk feel.The Wire (p.45) - "The literary quality of his words is sustained at an impossibly high level -- there isn't a dud or 'squeezed to fit' line here..."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.114) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "'So Everyone' is classic Oldham territory: a love song that's concurrently dirty, funny, romantic, self-centred and tragic..." Lie Down In The Light Music Bonnie 'Prince' Billy Lie Down In The Light Songs | 1. | Easy Does It |

Purchase Lie Down In The Light CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Nouvelle Vague CD (1997)
Lie Down In The Light album
 $11.05   
At a time when seemingly every band with access to an analog synthesizer and a tube of hair gel was aping the New Wave sounds of the early 1980s, NOUVELLE VAGUE put a unique spin on the phenomenon. Their self-titled album is full of covers of classic tunes by the Cure, Modern English, Depeche Mode, ...
| | Bonnie 'Prince' Billy Letting Go CD (2006)
Lie Down In The Light CD music
$12.69 
Like 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 ...
| | Ry Cooder My Name Is Buddy CD (2007)
Lie Down In The Light music CDs
$17.85 
With a concept that could have failed on so many levels in lesser hands, Ry Cooder stuns once again in MY NAME IS BUDDY and demonstrates why he is one of America's most adventurous musicians. His chosen material is a loose collection of animal character sketches--the titular Buddy is a cat--based on labor struggles and the lower class in Depression-era America. Think of it as Woody Guthrie meets Beatrix Potter.
While an odd construct on page for a man that jammed with Beefheart, the Stones, and the Buena Vista Social Club, MY NAME IS BUDDY flies with every track. The stellar cast of musicians includes the brothers Seeger, Van Dyke Parks, Jim Keltner, Paddy Moloney of the Chieftains, and Flaco ...
| | Wilco Sky Blue Sky CD (2007) Enhanced CD
Lie Down In The Light songs
$10.79
Of course this is still Jeff Tweedy's band, which means SKY BLUE SKY never strays too far from what has emerged as a basic Wilco template. The constantly shifting Chicago ensemble (in its umpteenth incarnation by the album's release) still displays an instrumental precision and studio professionalism while working within a newfangled roots template, and Tweedy himself remains as searching as always, both lyrically and musically. With nary a rave-up in sight, the album could be criticized for being overly serene, but in a career marked by nearly constant tumult and controversy, it's more appropriate to see this as Jeff Tweedy's much needed and well-earned rest.
While Wilco's ...
| | Robert Wyatt Comicopera CD (2007)
Lie Down In The Light album
$12.95 
First with his legendary band the Soft Machine and then as a solo artist, Robert Wyatt has never been afraid of a hefty conceit in his music. Fittingly, COMIC OPERA--his Domino records debut and first since 2003's CUCKOOLAND--continued Robert Wyatt's impressive string of late period solo records by focusing on nothing less than the innate comedy of the human condition. Wyatt presents an opus divided into three acts--"Lost in Noise," "The Here and the Now," and "Away With the Fairies"--centered around what he called the "unpredictable mischief of real life."
As with all of his '00s output, Wyatt trades in the exploratory psych-prog of his early '70s work in favor of elegant and ornate jazz arrangements. His voice--an unsung treasure of British rock--remains the centering constant here, as Wyatt's orchestrations swing from the mellow and alluring ("Just As You Are" and "You You") to the disquieting ("Fragment" and "Cancion de Julieta," which also find ...

| | Voodoo Glow Skulls Baile De Los Locos CD (1997)
Lie Down In The Light music CDs
$10.15
BAILE DE LOS LOCOS, the second Epitaph release from ska-punk veterans the Voodoo Glow Skulls, is one of the band's most focused expressions of its funky, horn-and-guitar-fueled musical stew. The sound suggests the Mighty Mighty Bosstones grafted over a wall of more aggressive solid-state guitar reminiscent of such West Coast brethren as Suicidal Tendencies. But for all the roiling guitars ...

Lie Down In The Light songs
$13.19 
Whenever a band reunites after having been inactive for more than a decade, fans naturally wonder if the band will pick up where it left off stylistically or move in a different direction. In Headhunter's case, it is definitely the former rather than the latter; Parasite of Society, Headhunter's first new studio album in 13 years, picks up where the German outfit's early- to mid-'90s recordings left off. Back then, Headhunter was often described as a band that was relevant to both thrash metal and power ...
