The Purple Bird (Vinyl LP)

One of modern music's most restlessly productive songwriters, Bonnie 'Prince' Billy has announced The Purple Bird. Recorded in Tennessee with "Nashville's finest", the album was produced by David "Ferg" Ferguson, whose CV includes work with the likes of Johnny Cash and John Prine, this is a record destined to sit well with Billy's more country-lovin' fans. - Flying Out

The Purple Bird finds Bonnie "Prince" Billy working with a "producer" for only the second time in his illustrious catalogue. This time it's David "Ferg" Ferguson (Johnny Cash, Sturgill Simpson) who guides the songs backed by "the best band you can get in Nashville right now", country singer John Anderson and Bluegrass legend Tim O'Brien. The Purple Bird is simultaneously like and unlike other BPB records. Many of the songs are a product of multiple composers’ voices, making the shape-shifting aspect of the BPB persona more fluid than ever before.
