Hailing from the creatively-fertile Louisville, Kentucky, Oldham's sparse, brooding music has found him collaborating with everyone from critically-acclaimed Kentucky neighbours Slint through to the legendary Johnny Cash over the years.
His methods are often unusual to say the least. Respected US underground producer Steve Albini attests to this, when he says: “He (Oldham) doesn't rehearse...he chooses the people he's going to play with shortly before the session begins. So everyone's playing by the seat of their pants.” ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonnie_'Prince'_Billy)
Bonnie 'Prince' Billy's acclaimed Irish and Scottish shows
This looseness and sense of adventure emanates from Oldham's best work, not least on the 2008 live album 'Is It The Sea?' (released through www.dominorecordco.com) where he shares Scottish and Irish concert stages with a band comprising members of Edinburgh nu-folkers Harem Scarem and Glaswegian drummer Alex Neilson. The BBC recording quality is second-to-none, but the high fidelity only serves to accentuate the otherworldliness inherent in Oldham's muse.
As fans have come to expect from resolutely bass-less music built around acoustic guitars, fiddle, banjo, flute and brushed drums, the songs are sparse, Celtic-tinged and windswept.
