Will Oldham Takes On R. Kelly, Danzig

The scruffy folk troubadour Will Oldham will release his new album, Ask Forgiveness, on November 20 via Drag City under the guise of Bonnie "Prince" Billy. The eight-song album fills its oddball quota with three incongruous three covers, R. Kelly's "The World's Greatest," Danzig's "Am I Demon," and Bjork's "I've Seen It All."

Considering Oldham was kind enough to make a cameo in R. Kelly's last Trapped in the Closet cycle, we're hoping Kells returns the favor in a video for him.

This is the tracklisting:

1. I Came Here to Hear the Music
2. I've Seen It All (Björk cover)
3. Am I Demon (Danzig cover)
4. My Life
5. I'm Loving the Street
6. The Way I Am
7. Cycles
8. The World's Greatest (R. Kelly cover)

Maybe this Kanye West video cover was his inspiration?
