lyrics

i wish that i was a little hummingbird
i'd not build my nest on the ground
i'd build my nest in some pretty girl's dress
so those other boys couldn't turn down

but if i was a little hummingbird
within my nest i'd not stay
as soon as i'd found a pretty girl to stick around
i'd be up and on my way

if i was a little rose bush
i'd bloom in the month of may
and every time my sweetheart pass
i'd throw her a rosey bouquet

if i was a little rose bush
then all my petals they'd be shorn
if i'd so much as some pretty girl touch
and draw her blood on my thorn

if i was a little honeybee
i'd not steal my honey from the comb
i'd steal my honey from some pretty girl's lips
and then i'd fly away home

but if was a little honeybee
and i could not hide the buzzin of my wings
every time i'd come
all those pretty girls would run
because they feared my sting

Everything about this album screams 'long lost classic from way back in the golden era of songwriting'. Well, everything except the fact that it came out only a few years back. Jeremy / HI54LOFI

Whilst gently paddling along this glistening river with the sun warming my back I found contentment. At a peaceful spot I set up camp and breathed in the beauty........."I think I'll stay a while" I said to myself. Thank you for this peaceful spot Mr Henderson :0) Martin Shields

Rivers and Vessels
by Joan Shelley

The sweetness of the harmony and beauty of the tracks made me have to purchase this album. The vocals float like ethereal sprites with compelling warmness yet a certain captivating sadness as well. This is what Americana should sound like... this is what country should sound like... for it's so real and emotionally delivered... yet absolutely gorgeous. theexplodingogre
