Paul Kelly: Forty Days
Paul Kelly Forty Days Cooking Vinyl Limited I keep thinking this is a very prolific period for Australia’s greatest songwriter. But actually it’s just a purple patch – within a purple patch. He’s always been regular and often prolific with his output but the last decade has seen a combination of ends-tying compilations and themed-shows […]Archive
