is
Marni's second album following the release of Critters & Specimens
in 2004. The eleven tracks are a more rootsy and folk styling than the
previous album, with darker lyrics as the title suggests. Once again an
array of special guests/friends & family contributed their talents
to bring the songs to life.
Preview tracks are available on Marni's Myspace
page.

Once
again I count my blessings for the fine work & generosity of
the mighty special guest players. Dave & Amos Sheehan have come
to the party for their dear old ma with cracking guitar & bass
lines. The inimitable Russell Smith provides his unique sparkle
on a range of instruments. I am so glad for the time & talents
given by my dear friends Fiona & Kenny White, providing suitably
rollicking vocals and national steel guitar from Kenny. Jim Williams
& Tony Spizzica jumped in the deep end for our live recording
of Justice. |

| Again, my thanks go out to Mark Woods (of E-Pop and other fame) whose recording, production and people skills made the recording of the album a relaxed and fun experience. | ||
'Overall this album is much more
polished as Sheehan seems much more confident
in her song writing….Listening to and owning this album is highly
recommended'

'Marni Sheehan's
'Lonesome Blues'….a perfectly constructed blues piece. Marni
can write a great story-song, such as the outlaws on the run tale of 'True
Hearts'. The Irish fiddle and mandolin laced 'Rambling Rose & the
Gardener of Love' is also a credit to Marni'.
