I haven’t even finished listening to the album yet but I just can’t wait to share this song with you…
Many come from the west to many here from the east
like birds alone with their songs
on the wires, the trees and the eaves
I will give you the gold I stashed away
I will give you the fat of my land
My sister has two lovely sparrows
one in each of her hands
Two Sparrows by the Gourds from their 2011 album Old Mad Joy which I’ve only just got round to buying. I’ll be doing a proper ‘Spill post shortly about my favourite albums of 2011 – I’m a bit behindhand on account of the retiring and the moving house and all.
I love that country rock feel ! ! ! What a nice song ! ! !
It reminded me lot of The Band *which is a very good thing).
I am looking forward to your post about your favourite albums of 2011 ! ! !
Thanks, Sakura – yes, I think it’s a beautiful song. And I heard it for the first time today!
Last year it so happened that four of my favourite artists/bands brought out new albums, but I only bought one of them. Then one of my retirement presents was some iTunes vouchers so I thought ‘oh good, I’ll buy those other three records, and then I can make a big splash in the end-of-year ‘Spill festivities!’…but hey, I never did.
So now (well, soon) I’m going to make up for it!
A great track – such a relaxing groove. Thanks.
Well, the intro suggested to me that I wouldn’t be that fussed by this, but the minute the vocal kicked in, I was hooked. What a lovely song. I’m having another listen straight away.
Kevin Russell, ladies and gents – second from the left.
