Paul Kelly (A-Z) - ‘A’ and ‘B’
Rohan February 8th, 2008
Paul Kelly, arguably Australia’s most pre-eminent singer/songwriter, is currently making available for free download from his website, one hundred songs from his extensive musical anthology. It all started a couple of years back during a tour in which Kelly sang a selection of 100 songs, in alphabetical order, over a four-night period. Such was the success of this series of shows, Kelly selected the best versions of each song and has now made them available for download, also alphabetically, one letter per month over a period of two years, starting with the ‘A’ songs in January 2008 (yes, if you’re just reading this now, you’ve already missed them, as too have I) and being replaced by the ‘B’ songs in February 2008, and so on.
And the reason for this post, and the ones I will publish in the months to come - apart from the fact that I am a fan of Paul Kelly’s immense musical talent - is to maintain a list of the songs being made available for anyone who may be interested, seeing as though previous month’s songs do not appear to be listed on the Paul Kelly website anywhere (I’m sure the full list will eventually be published, probably once all the songs have been released, but that’s nearly two years from the date I’m typing this post).
‘A’ Songs - January 2008
- Adelaide
- After The Show
- Anastasia Changes Her Mind
If anyone happens to have downloaded these first three songs, and is willing to share, I would love to hear from you, as I was a bit slow off the mark and missed them.
Update: Thanks to all who volunteered to share - got them now!
‘B’ Songs - February 2008
- Be Careful What You Pray For
- Beautiful Promise
- Before The Old Man Died
- Before Too Long
- Beggar On The Street Of Love
- Behind The Bowler’s Arm
- Blue Stranger
- Blues For Skip
- Bradman
- Brand New Ways
Get the current month’s songs from Paul Kelly A-Z and enjoy listening to this master craftsman at work.
