    ‘Silver Linings’, released in April 2021, was embellished by a number of guest musicians and featured a fresh reworking of a few of Al Shalliker's older songs but is mostly made up of previously unreleased newer material. Influenced by the classic songwriters yet highly original, ‘Silver Linings’ is a powerful representation of Al’s inimitable style, made relevant for a new audience.

lyrics

Laid it all to waste, shadows cross her silver face
She smiles like a fire in the sun
Wanted to be free, slept alone and often sadly
Saw only what the lonely truly see

Seems a long way, a long way from here
A long way from where you hoped to go

Three weeks she spoke in her mother tongue
Kingdom come and hallowed be thy name
Shadows of herself she became

Lost inside a sound, her words are bleak and often profound
Lady Day could sing her night away
Don’t know where you are, John Coltrane and Charlie Parker
A love supreme could bring it home again

Seems a long way, a long way from here
A long way from where you hoped to go

Three weeks she spoke in her mother tongue
Kingdom come and hallowed be thy name
Shadows of herself she became
Shadows of herself she became
