Bonny ‘Prince’ Billy is an American singer/songwriter. Billy has been one of these artists that I was pretty sure I was going to like, but the curiosity was not intense enough to get me to really dive into it. One day a while back a dear friend of mine showed me a song off this album.  Ask Forgiveness is a cover album except for one original. The list of covered artists is pretty amazing. His music is very relaxing and pleasant to listen to. Check out the track listing.

1. I Came Here to Hear the Music (Mickey Newbury)
2. I’ve Seen It All (Björk and Thom Yorke)
3. Am I Demon (Danzig)
4. My Life (Phil Ochs)
5. I’m Loving the Street (Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy original)
6. The Way I Am (Mekons/Merle Haggard/Sonny Throckmorton)
7. Cycles (Frank Sinatra, written by Gayle Caldwell)
8. The World’s Greatest (R. Kelly)
