Several Brit bands (and Hanson) may have launched their own signature beers, but Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy, the main moniker of US troubadour Will Oldham, has found a more nutritious means of merchandising his personal brand and latest LP, ‘Wolfroy Goes To Town’.
The singer-songwriter is stocking Kona Rose Coffee Bonny Billy Blend, an organic coffee he had a hand in creating, on his label Drag City’s official site. In the grand tradition of there always seeming to be a silly description to match these artist-affiliated products, I should mention that the coffee is described as having “a clean body and fresh finish”. Drag City, meanwhile, claim to detect “overtones of chocolate, leather and non-wacky tobaccy” in the brew.
So, that all sounds very nice. The coffee is being sold by the half-pound at a price of $20. Which seems a lot, but let’s face facts, it’s organic and was blended by a Prince. Will it be as nice as Mr Scruff’s tea though? That’s the big question.
