Song(s) of the Day # 3,903 Jennifer Castle

                                                


                                                      'Camelot's a lot of rot!' My mother

November is here. It spawned a monster once upon a time according to Mozza. With November comes Camelot a spectral and deeply specia  album from Jennifer Castle. An album that will keep you warm and snug for the whole month uf you care to ler it.  Under your duvet. Under your skin.

It's Album of the Month in Uncut Magazine this month and those guys generally know.. It's Carole King's oddball Indie cousin who uses expressions like 'Pissin in the Wind.' with no little elan . Bit she has plenty of Carole's wordsmthery and way with melody.A way with madcap, punning poetry. 

Arthurian legend is a useful touchstone for describing the album's urges and twitches. Camelot of course was a utopia. A heaven on earth. We all know there's actually no such thing. Heaven can wait. This record is pretty great in the meantime.One to learn and sing.  Downhill to Christmas from here.
