''I See a Darkness'' is an album by Bonnie "Prince" Billy, a moniker of American musician Will Oldham. Released in 1999 on Palace Records, ''I See a Darkness'' is Oldham's sixth album, and the first released under the Bonnie "Prince" Billy moniker. The album features appearances from Bob Arellano, Colin Gagon, Paul Oldham, and Peter Townsend. Johnny Cash recorded the title track on his 2000 album ''American III: Solitary Man'', with Oldham providing background vocals for Cash's version. Steve Adey also covered the title track on his 2006 LP ''All Things Real''. ==Critical reception== ''I See a Darkness'' received mostly positive reviews from music critics. Samir Khan of Pitchfork Media awarded the album a rare perfect score and described it as Oldham's "consummate offering" and the "type of record that demands solitary reverence".〔 AllMusic characterized it as an "emotional and pleasurable listening experience".〔 ''The A.V. Club'' remarked that ''I See a Darkness'' was "wonderful" and the "most appropriate synthesis yet of Oldham's vocals and backing band". Matt Lemay of Stylus Magazine wrote that "by addressing concepts so grand with such sincerity and skill, the album is incredibly powerful under even the most mundane of circumstances". ''NME'' was more reserved, giving the album a 7/10 and describing it as "grim" and "perversely cheery", while also praising it for being a "delicate, intelligent record".〔 Sputnikmusic's Alex Robertson noted the grim subject matter and stated that "when Oldham steers away from his own formula of sadness and strumming () is when the album works best".〔 Upon reviewing the reissued album in 2012, Aaron Lavery of Drowned in Sound felt that the album was Oldham's "finest achievement thus far" and the "essential release" in his discography.〔
