The Letting Go is a 2006 studio album by Bonnie "Prince" Billy. It was released on Drag City. The album was recorded in Reykjavík, Iceland and produced by Valgeir Sigurðsson, who is known for his work with the Icelandic artist Björk. The arrangement was done by Nico Muhly. Dawn McCarthy of Faun Fables also sings on the album. The album's title comes from the last lines of the Emily Dickinson poem that starts "After a Great Pain, A Formal Feeling Comes. This is the hour of lead.
Decamped to Iceland, Will Oldham, . Bonnie Prince Billy, doubles down on his usual idiosyncrasies for this beguiling 2006 album. For all the stately romance of opener Love Comes to Me and the soft-stepping intimacy of I Called You Back, between those bookends lies a truly unpredictable journey. Nico Muhly’s burnished string arrangements and Dawn McCarthy’s pleading vocal harmonies both adapt to match Oldham’s free-flowing mood swings, graduating from wispy softness to sloshing volatility for the darkly delivered The Seedling.

I live in Louisville and found out about him in Alabama so I am a little embarrassed to not know more. This is why I love The Letting Go. To me, the best of Billy is between I See a Darkness and Lie Down in the Light, and this one was already uneven. But honestly, maybe I should dig more into his later work. Please, tell me which album could surprise me more.
