  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Pistol Pete Wearn & the Wildwood Flowers is a brand new collaboration between two-time Moonshine Magazine solo blues artist of the year Pistol Pete Wearn with singer-songwriter Helena Francesca & fiddle player Olly Parry. Moving away from traditional blues, it focuses on country-influenced songwriting, melancholy harmonies and traditional acoustic instruments.

    About the CD edition: Sure, you *could* just get the download, but you really want that feeling of anticipation as you rip the cellophane off and the 'new' smell hits your nostrils. You really want to sit and gaze at the gatefold Digifile sleeve as you listen intently to the beautiful harmonies emanating from your speakers. Or else you really want to be able to play it in the car, without having to muck about setting up Bluetooth connections.

    Also, it comes with a free sticker. How cool is that?

lyrics

’68 Harmony

It was a fateful morning in ‘74
When I picked that guitar off the floor
Where it had sat for a year or more
Underneath my girlfriend’s bed

And I guess her folk weren’t much disposed
To having guitars picked & songs composed
Because that there case had stayed shut closed
It became my guitar instead

It was a ’68 Harmony
Wasn’t much to look at
but it sounded good to me
It was real well battered
And real well played
And I fell in love with the sound it made

Well I played it for her by the shore
And in the parking lot of the ice cream store
I played that guitar more and more
Until the day that we got wed

And I played it for our firstborn son
I played Twinkle Star and Aiken Drum
And the day that he took his first strum
Felt so much pride that tears were shed

Chorus

And I played it for my daughter too
I played camping grounds and school revues
I learned every Disney song right through
Just to sooth her pretty head

And I played it once more on my own
When my wife had left and my kids had flown
I played for a girl from San Antone
She was the second one I wed

Chorus

One day I loaned it to my new wife’s son
Who headed straight down to the Pawn & Gun
He traded it for a stack of ones
He could spend on crack instead

And I hope whoever has it today
Has friends to love & songs to play
& my old guitar has things to say
& music it can spread

Chorus
