The Church of the Good Thief is the third and final release from Andy Hull's solo project, Right Away, Great Captain!, which follows the journey of a 17th-century sailor. From Right Away, Great Captain!'s Myspace blog: "The third story/album starts with our hero laying over Anna's lover (and hero's brother). The brother has been killed. His wife has seen what the children saw and we spend a lot of time inside our hero's mind and the reality that he is indeed a murderer of his own flesh and blood." [3] The album was released on June 12, 2012.
