Bonnie “Prince” Billy has just announced a new album. It’s titled Best Troubadour, and it’s an album-length tribute to Merle Haggard, featuring songs from throughout his career from 1967 on up to 2011. It’s out May 5 via Drag City.

Will Oldham has also released a 360-degree virtual reality video for “Mama Tried,” which based on the Bandcamp tracklist, doesn’t appear to be on the album. In any case, this is definitely a different way to experience Merle Haggard. Check that out below.

The Fugitive
I’m Always on a Mountain When I Fall
