Lincoln Hall

'I Am Drinking Again' was sold to Italian audiences in March and April of 1998 during shows played with Bryan Rich in accompaniment. The mood was romantic. For the remainder of the year, Bonny appeared around Europe and the US in the company of different friends and fellow players the beginning of a regular and farflung tour schedule that continues to this day, where shows are played to reach new audiences in new environments for Bonny and his everswelling band of brothers to explore and enjoy. Thusly, 99 kicked off with more dates, this time in Ireland, Paris and Reykjavik (and England, proving that theres always an exception to the tour schedule rule) with Easy Times, an adhoc trio made up of Mike Fellows, James Lo and Matt Sweeney.

The cold dawn of 1999 brought the darkness the first Bonnie Prince Billy album, I See a Darkness was released in January on Palace Records, taking his name to the masses. This bleak and hectic record remains a fan favorite to this very day. Kids are sick like that. But they like good songs. Looking to see a bit of sunshine, Bonny spent the month of June heading west, north and east in the company of good friends Bob Arellano, Colin Gagon, Mike Fellows and Joe Propatier and stopping to play 27 shows along the way. Whew!
