    ‘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

A tor up on the high line
Of Devon’s rolling sky
And down the wooded valley
Our years are flowing by
It’s only now I wonder, if our ever loving son is gonna shine

The boats they fill the harbour
Where the sea birds rise and fall
For every Pilgrim Father
There’s a plaque upon the wall
It’s only now I wonder, if our ever loving father cares at all

The lonely dockyard’s daughter
By the old gate she will stand
A lamb unto the slaughter
Keeps a wedding ring to hand
It’s only now I wonder, if our ever loving daughter understands

Take it slowly my love
Someone’s been smiling on us
Take it slowly my love
Someone’s been smiling on us
