Double LP
Featuring Drag City label collaborators and a host of gospel, country, pop and rock covers
Lockdown double album is playful and spirited!
Bill Callahan and Bonnie "Prince" Billy shared the songs on Blind Date Party with a travel-challenged world through late 2020 into earlier this year. Now their online sensation comes home to roost on vinyl — the good ol' fashioned format where all these songs were originally heard in the first place! A record to, from, for and dedicated to almost everyone. Hats off! Pants off too — NOW it's a party!
"The newly issued Blind Date Party functions less like a singles collection and more like an overstuffed double album: discursive, playful, and full of imagination. While a few selections hew close to the country, hushed-folk balladry deep cuts one might expect — songwriters include Leonard Cohen, John Prine, Lowell George, and Robert Wyatt — they often veer into new territory, bouncing from hard rock to fluttering electronic pop, from meditative groovers to gospel, from the avant-garde to raucous sing-a-longs." — Pitchfork
