An old Daintees classic, executed with complete roots and rocking originality by Stephenson's Rockets
lyrics
Little Red Bottle
A drunk is a man
Who is stronger within
Than many a tee total would have you believe
A drunk is a man
Who's nostalgically prone
And that soldier to me is a good way to be
Who needs faith when there's a bottle
A bottle gives regular blues
Let your mind escape into the bottle
Then rattle until it brews
In your subconscious sea there is no laughter
And the hate swims like a shark
Upon your beach nothing but nostalgia
A little puppy who'd lost his bark
In the little red bottle
Is all I believe
My brain it has dropped within
The little red bottle
Is responsible for so many blues
But blues to some are gold

Guillemot Days whisks us to a glistening shoreline, awash with 10 sublime songs full of serene hope. Compelling right from the buoyant opener Edge Of The World and Butterfly overflows with soaring, twangy sunshine. For a fave, so close with the lush vocals, melodic layers of Flowers Of Hope versus Peace And Plenty: an intriguing, modern parlour song both eerie and exquisite, voices and clarinet blending into something quite special. This album is a musical lighthouse on a dark day. Unmissable. anitajoyce
