    "Portraying Moments in fairy-tale brush strokes, Allysen Callery's Mumblin' Sue is another folk gem. Two songs stand out in complexity and brilliance. “Lily of the Valley” strolls through landscapes with poisonous secrets, conjures up “White Coral Bells” and ends, intriguingly: “I am the daughter of Mother’s Nature’s Son”. Carried by a melodically flowing guitar progression and remarkably varied vocals, “Spare Parts” tells its tale with strong, evocative lines such as “I’ll build a man with a gold heart / out of the spare parts / you don’t want anymore” and “it’s the ones with the broken hearts / that cry tears of joy”. The song flickers like a lighthouse somewhere between magical Oz and Frankenstein’s miserable abode. Which, in a way, is true for the entire album. Marvellous."- Folk Radio UK

lyrics

2.I Had a Lover I thought was my Own

I had a lover I though was my own
I 'd slip from my bed while my husband was sleeping
Once I drove to his house but the door was locked
I could see he had the candles all lit

I had a lover I thought was my own
Once he told me
You should pay me
I keep the older women of this town happy
Fat & merry

I had a lover I thought was my own
He took me in his arms upon the chair
When I'd told him we were done
He held me close & stroked my hair
