The avett brothers mignonette full album 2004
Mignonette is a 2004 album by The Avett Brothers. It was named after an English yacht which sank off the Cape of Good Hope, leaving the crew of four stranded on a lifeboat. The cabin boy, Richard Parker, was killed and eaten by the others, two of whom were later put on trial and convicted of murder (see Regina v. Dudley & Stephens). Nautical themes and metaphors of cannibalism can be found on tracks "Complainte D'Un Matelot Mourant" and "Salvation Song".
Contents
The album was written and produced by Seth Avett, Scott Avett, and Bob Crawford of The Avett Brothers with additional vocals from their sister Bonnie Avett Rini and their father Jim Avett, who wrote and performed "Signs" in the 1970's.
