Expanded edition of the 2013 album from this solo project by Trespassers William vocalist Anna-Lynne Williams. Includes a bonus cover of Bruce Springsteen's 'The Ties That Bind'. The Bluebird of Happiness was recorded over the course of a year by Williams in a handful of bedrooms, as she transported her home studio from a number of locations around Seattle and nearby island Vashon. While retaining the delicate, intimate sound of her debut album, China Mountain, there are a handful of notable guest appearances on this work. Damien Jurado duets on "Turn the Wolves", Arnar Gudjonsson of Icelandic band Leaves accompanies on piano on "Pairs," and Anomie Belle contributes violins to "Cliff."
