about

'The Last of Love or The Ballad of the Street Sweeper' is the 7th album released by The McSweeney Kings.

The intricately woven title track is written by Simon McSweeney, along with 'Katalina in The City' and 'Always Here Waiting For You'. This year Simon has used his story-telling skills to reflect on the lives of those around us.

After her first ever songs last year, Helen McSweeney has this time contributed four songs - 'Making a Comeback' and 'The Rainbow Song' which reflect on her journey out of a difficult period, "I Wanna Go' which speaks of her faith journey and 'The Secrets You Kept in Your Soul' which is a story about the oftentime need to say "sorry" or "I forgive you" long after someone stops listening.

Andrew McSweeney has contributed these three carefully-crafted and beautifully heart-moving songs - 'Move On', 'Up In The Air' and 'Good Friend, Old Friend'

Peter McSweeney hasn't failed to surprise with the child-like fun lyrics of 'The Martians Are Coming' and 'George is a Dragon-Slayer'; the joyful tribute to 'Roy' Orbison and explosive "Fire in The Hole'.

The album was recorded during a weekend in October 2018. Album production was done by the amazing Joe Davison (Auburn Jam).
