Album review: Queen Anne's Revenge
QUEEN ANNE'S REVENGE Just One Umbrella? *** Watercolour Music WCMCD34, £12.99
Named after the feared pirate ship, and born in remote Ardgour at famed folk recording studios Watercolour, this is the second collaboration between owner Nick Turner and Back of the Moon's Findlay Napier.
A rich palette of guest musos adds colour, and if the singing is not the best in the world, the articulate irony, early-onset grumpy old man syndrome and daft surrealism fuse in songs about nuclear fission, whisky and wrongly sexed tortoises.
