The Gulley Flats Boys

The Gulley Flats Boys is a double-disc album from British musician Francis Dunnery, released in 2005. It is very stripped down, revolving around Dunnery's acoustic guitar playing and piano, courtesy of David Sancious, and featuring minimal percussion. It features two re-recordings of older songs in Good Life and Heartache Reborn - the latter being almost entirely re-worked. Lyrically, the album deals with the reaching of "the middle of life", and Francis has stated that it deals with a mid-life crisis of sorts.[1] The title of the album is a reference to the council estate in Cumbria, North-west England where Francis grew up alongside the friends pictured on the album cover.

gollark: I would never have suspected that that would work before this.
gollark: He just manages to distract people from the terrible stuff by doing more terrible stuff.
gollark: Trump doesn't even cover it up.
gollark: > Earning tons of money through a job that indirectly exploits developing nations and then donating some part of that money to a charity that helps developing nations is probably a net negative for these nations.How do most jobs go around exploiting developing nations? Also, IIRC the figures are something like one life saved per few hundred/thousand $, so I doubt it.
gollark: There seem to be lots of "elites" who are basically *fine*, except you don't hear about them because people only go on about "SOME ELITES DID BAD THINGS".
