Bonnie Prince Billy And The Picket Line

***In the wilds of greater outer Louisville Kentucky, there is a place called Funtown. You won’t find it on any map, and you might just lose yourself in the woods out there trying to pin it down to the ground as well. Yet, Funtown is a place, as much as it is a place of mind. It was in this place, in a clearing and on the shores of a pond, that BONNY PRINCE BILLY AND THE PICKET LINE combined forces to play his music and their music and other people’s music for a community of people to hear and watch and swing and step to. The songs of Bonny and The Picket Line and the others that they play are music for an afternoon, an evening, a night. Live in front of friends and family is the way of Funtown, so more and the same were invited when B‘P’B and the TPL laid this one down for posterity. It was as fun as it sounds and more, in ways which have mostly been channeled down to the two sides of a groove, and presented to you here, wrapped twice in full-color sleeves. The Picket Line spark with their youth the picking traditions that some call Bluegrass and some call music. (STREET DATE - 12/15/2009)
