Vinny Peculiar, Down The Bright Stream. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

Not for Vinny Peculiar will you find the hidden message laden, the daring concealed communication that Sylvia Plath employed in Daddy, or the wasted and admirable qualities that Anne Sexton brought to mind, all Vinny Peculiar needs is the distant memory we all acquire, startling observational skills and the gift of putting exquisite poetry to song, all of which comes to fruition in the album Down The Bright Stream.
