Bonnie "Prince" Billy’s 2017 album Best Troubador is a deeply personal tribute to country legend Merle Haggard, lovingly interpreting a selection of Haggard’s work with Oldham’s unique, reflective touch. Released on Drag City, this collection highlights themes of self-identification and contentment, echoing Haggard's spirit through Bonnie "Prince" Billy's intimate, heartfelt performance.
Best Troubador immerses listeners in a warm, mid-tempo journey that thoughtfully honors its source material while retaining the emotional honesty that defines Bonnie "Prince" Billy. Featuring contributions from a talented ensemble, the album’s contemplative pace and rich arrangements invite both longtime fans and new listeners to experience Haggard’s songs through a fresh, soulful lens.
