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.
