These two have always been a pair, at least since their appearance in the early 90s. Their records were never far away from each other in the record library, listening to one often making you want to continue with the other. Bill Callahan and Will Oldham (aka Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy). The Lou Reed and Bob Dylan of their generation. Two totemic artists of contemporary folk-rock, finally reunited for real on this Blind Date Party. Another record coming from COVID times and being denied a concert, the two companions set about remotely recording their favourite covers, supported by their musical family from the Drag City label (including Matt Sweeney, Sean O'Hagan, Ty Segall etc.). Together they created some twenty songs, which they released at the end of 2020 and the beginning of 2021, and eventually brought together here. In terms of covers, it's a varied mix of Cat Stevens, Steely Dan, Hank Williams Jr., Robert Wyatt, Silver Jews, Billie Eilish and even a couple of self-covers. The record moves between classic acoustic folk and slightly electronic rock, without ever really choosing. Devised during the very strange conditions of lockdown, this recorded meeting between two giants doesn’t deliver what you would have dreamed of. But hearing these two beloved voices - Bill Callahan's low and terse voice and Bonnie Prince Billy's huskier and more melodic one - on the same songs is already a great gift. A warm-up for the big duet record perhaps? © Stéphane Deschamps/Qobuz
