Lay And Love
Drag City
INDIE
"Lay And Love" is the third single from BONNY PRINCE BILLY's momentous latest album, 'The Letting Go'. With hidden songs, non-album songs and videos,
On "Lay and Love" there's JIM WHITE and PAUL OLDHAM on rhythm, EMMETT KELLY on guitar, DAWN MCCARTHY on voice and VALGIER SIGURDSSON recording and mixing.
Outside of the context of 'The Letting Go', "Lay and Love" shines ever brighter and kicks off a remarkable fourteen minutes of musical experience, for after "Lay and Love," the balance of the single is given over to two rarely-covered songs from the catalog of BOB DYLAN.
"Señor" is rendered by Bonny all on his lonesome and "Going to Acapulco" features backing from the early days of the century - a New Orleans-style brass band accompaniment. Add old friend TODD BRASHEAR on extra-special singing and PAUL OLDHAM recording and mixing and you have an extra-special moment in the catalog of Bonnie 'Prince' Billy.
Included on the CD is the video for "Lay and Love," directed by VERNON CHATMAN and JOHN LEE, and edited by JON PHILPOT For a jaded audience used to getting everything they could possibly imagine whenever they wanted, the "Lay and Love" video guarantees to leave unimaginably deep feelings of shock and disgust in its artful wake.
