Response
Some of his albums such as There Is No-One What Will Take Care of You (1993)Viva Last Blues (1995) and I See a Darkness (1999) have appeared on greatest albums lists.

After releasing material under his own name he adopted the "Bonnie 'Prince' Billy" moniker for the majority of his output since 1998. From 1993 to 1997 he performed and recorded under variations of the Palace name including the Palace Brothers Palace Songs and Palace Music.
