Bonnie 'Prince' Billy - Cold & Wet

Don't you just hate it when a dog comes poking its nose into your business? Bonnie 'Prince' Billy seems to, because he's even written a song called Cold & Wet which is surely about just such a problem. The good news is it's a breath of fresh air, a piece of gentle simplicity, which shows that the "Bonnie" one holds as much truck with modern times as good old Bobby D. The b-sides feature a gorgeously evocative live version of The Way and a BBC recording of Buried Treasure, a well crafted cover of the Bee Gees-penned Kenny Rogers song. [Milo McLaughlin]
