bonnie-prince-billy-play-guitar-play-608x374 (2)

Our boy Emmett Kelly (The Cairo Gang) has been contributing guitar and voice to Bonnie “Prince” Billy recordings for the better part of the last decade. This Valentine’s day, Drag City announced the first official collaboration between Bonnie “Prince” Billy and The Cairo Gang. The newest full length featuring Bonnie “Prince” Billy or The Cairo Gang, The Wonder Show of the World (out march 22th on Drag City) is co-written between Emmett and Will… we are talking about the bee’s knees, the cat’s pajamas, the snake’s elbow. This is going to be rad. You can pre-order it from Drag City… and check out this atmospheric (non-LP) cover of Conway Twitty’s “Play Guitar Play”:
