  • 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

Redemption

Well it ain’t your forty acres it’s my grandpa’s farm
Taken from him by Sherman’s arm
It’s the place
Where I used to play
Until some blowhard yankee took my birthright away

We’re just looking for redemption
Some place for free determination
I woke up and it’s just not my nation
No place for a man like me anymore

After two years in Elmira got my ticket home
Headed back to a life that’s gone
I had to take off the patches
But I still wear my grey
I’m holed up in a shack and living from day to day

Chorus

Those carpetbaggers in the statehouse couldn’t give a damn
They’re all worshiping the wrong Abraham
They sold off the railroads
Where we might have got paid
They just quarrel and quibble as the Blood Stained Banner fades

Chorus


Headed up to the plantation with a few good men
Guys I’ve known since way back when
You know we figure
There’s a lesson needs learned
We’re going to build us a fire and watch those free men burn
