Bill Callahan and Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy deliver another release in their weekly instalment of new covers. This time around they go for Demis Roussos’ 1980 Dutch and Belgian hit single version of Air Supply’s Lost in Love with the help Emmett Kelly (The Cairo Gang).
In their own words:
Many hands make lovely work, as Demis Roussos’ 1980 Dutch and Belgian hit single version of Air Supply’s 1980 worldwide smash is repurposed by all-star singer/guitarist Emmett Kelly as an acoustic flight for the sweet inspirations of Bill Callahan and Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy. Emmett’s deep feeling for Demis’ astonishingly deep catalog informs every moment, and the two Bills respond in vocal kind. Cover artwork by Becca Mann, shown at her April 2018 Soccer Club Club engagment, “Pacific.”
