Bonnie 'Prince' Billy is no stranger to reworking songs into entirely new compositions when the situation calls for it, and when that call comes from deep within the bowels of Drag City, the "situation" can only mean one thing - Steamroom Session! That's right, accompanied by Jacob Duncan on saxophone, Bonnie rejiggered "I Have Made A Place", an IMAP standout, to newly-imagined peaks for a fresh installment of Drag City Limits! Contrasted with the studio version, this rendition is sparse yet poignant: Will's voice and gently played guitar, along with Duncan's woodwind flourishes, reverberate from the tiled walls like a warm embrace.
So cum gather 'round yonder kiddos, Uncle Bonny has a succulent new treat, all wrapped up and ready to taste! I Made A Place begins streaming (it's already available physically in stores everywhere!) in January and after that Bonnie 'Prince' Billy heads on tour with Jonathan Richman--but until then, satisfy your cravings with this delectable offering from Drag City Limits!
