Sadly beautiful

○○○○●

DURING the process of writing and recording his last album Goodnight, an emotional labour of love which picked through his parents' divorce, William Fitzsimmons split with his own wife.
Not one to miss an opportunity, beardy folk singer Fitzsimmons' follow-up album, The Sparrow And The Crow, examines his own divorce.
So don't expect a barrel of laughs.
However do expect a tear-soaked collection of Iron And Wine-style acoustic tracks that could pierce even the thickest of skins.
