Lambert's guitar is so subtle throughout but each note hits the spot perfectly

Actor/songwriter/musical director.
Albion Band, Home Service, just three solo albums but many songs for plays (usually with a social conscious). Folk rock.
You'll love Home Service 'Alright Jack', English folk rock masterpiece.

The illustartion is a damselfly
Damselflies, which are similar in structure, though usually lighter in build; however, the wings of most dragonflies are held flat and away from the body, while damselflies hold the wings folded at rest, along or above the abdomen.

Sounds like a well placed contrast to 'Ferryman's Curse. Is this the oldest vocal sound yet - breathier? Really do think a lot of skill has gone into the recording of this album.

So the damselflies' flight is more... distressed?
