Bonnie 'Prince' Billy Sings Greatest Palace Music is the name of an album by Bonnie 'Prince' Billy. It features new recordings of songs from his Palace music era (1993-1997), recorded in Nashville, Tennessee with a large group of country session musicians. The lo-fi nature of the songs' original recordings was abandoned in favour of a more conventionally polished "country" sound. Guest musicians include Eddie Bayers, Stuart Duncan, Mark Fain, Mike Johnson, Hargus Robbins, Andrew Bird and Bruce Watkins.
