Bonnie 'Prince' Billy - Ask Forgiveness

Set to be release on November 19, Ask Forgiveness is an upcoming album by Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, or by his real name Will Oldham. However, this album has only one song composed by Oldham himself, and the rest are improvisations on cover songs for various artists including Thom Yorke and Björk, Frank Sinatra and R. Kelly.

He transformed these covers to his own versions, by singing them out in his own idiosyncratic interpretation. Eventually, he was assisted by Meg Baird, Greg Weeks and Maggie Wienk putting this album together.
