Version City #43 - Tortoise & Bonnie 'Prince' Billy sing Elton John


Bonnie 'Prince' Billy and Tortoise have each made individual appearances on these pages in the past, though the 2006 LP, 'The Brave and the Bold', finds their talents combined.

Here's the highlight of the whole shebang for me though, a spooky reading of Elton John's 'Daniel'.
