Bonnie “Prince” Billy & Linus Announce Jules de Corte Tribute Album, Share Three Songs
Up until this very afternoon, I'd never heard of Jules de Corte, a blind Dutch singer-songwriter who won some European prizes in the '60s and who died in 1996 at the age of 71. I'd also never heard of the improvisational Belgian quartet Linus. I had, however, heard of beloved roots-music weirdo Bonnie "Prince" Billy, so the news that he's making a Jules de Corte tribute album with Linus demanded…
Bonnie "Prince" Billy has teamed up with Belgian quartet Linus to create a tribute album to the late Dutch singer-songwriter Jules de Corte. The album, titled "The Outsider: The Music Of Jules de Corte," features three songs shared by Bonnie "Prince" Billy and Linus: "And God Saw," "Mariska," and "Little Jesus, Mighty God." These tracks appear to have a similar sound to Bonnie "Prince" Billy's music, with occasional jazz influences. "The Outsider: The Music Of Jules de Corte" is set to be released on October 30.
