Well that’s it from us for another week dear reader and we leave you with a new song from the forthcoming album from the great Paul Kelly – For his latest album “Fever Longing Still” which was recorded at Neil Finn’s studio Roundhead in New Zealand, he’s focused on the topic of love – as he describes it, “The fire of love. The pain of love. Love of family. Love entwined in memory and place.” And what better evocation of love than this childhood memory so fresh but so hazy that the past does indeed seem like a foreign country. “Looking back on what we’ve done with these songs, it’s really a band record,” Kelly says. “That made me reflect on the longevity of the band, this squad. Peter Luscombe (drums) has been with me for more than 30 years, Bill McDonald (bass) and Dan Kelly (guitar) for 20. Even the newbies Cameron Bruce (keys) and Ash Naylor (guitar) have been with me since 2007. “Our philosophy is eclectic; we want to make each song different from the last. I just love that when I bring a new song to them, it can take on a completely new life.” “Fever Longing Still” lands via Cooking Vinyl on November 1st and as with anything this man produces, we will be all over it. Please do support your local Palestine events if you can. Take care and have a good one.
