Dead Flowers, Bottles, Bluegrass and Bones is the sixth full-length album by Californian punk rock band Swingin' Utters.
Alongside the band's usual punk style of music, there is a strong presence of Pogues-influenced Irish folk on this album, perhaps even more heavily than on the band's previous album. The Swingin' Utters recorded Live in a Dive shortly after this album was released.
The Free Lance-Star gave the album a positive review, while Allmusic gave it a four and a half stars out of five rating, with reviewer Jo-Ann Greene calling it "a stomping mix of rabid punk and pub-crunching singalongs" and "the best yet from the band".
All tracks written by Darius Koski except as noted.
