"Love is the Law" by Paul Kelly

I am going to take this opportunity to plug my favourite singer. Considered by many to be Australia's finest singer/songwriter, Paul Kelly has been around for about 30 years now releasing a countless number of recordings. He is a very versatile artist singing in many different styles from folk, rock, country, bluegrass, funk/reggae and others. While he writes great music he is most famous for his songwriting. In fact in his home state of Victoria his book of lyrics is part of the school curriculum.

While he is pretty famous here he only has a small but very loyal following outside of Australia. On the odd chance anyone is even interested in this, you can download some of his songs for free from his website. These are live recordings from his A to Z shows. Once or twice a year for the past few years, Paul Kelly has played more than 100 of his songs in alphabetical order over four consecutive nights. I saw all four nights at the Sydney Opera House a couple of years back and it was truly amazing. Anyway he has recorded every show and he is uploading them to his website one letter at a time per month. So at the moment you can download the "L" songs he has performed. In January the "L" songs will be replaced by "M" etc etc. These are all free. I have downloaded 65 songs so far and he is not even half way through. If you actually download the "L" songs and love them so much you would like to obtain the A-K songs, PM me and I will tell you where you can get them. These songs are mostly solo or with the odd guest musician. So the songs are pretty stripped back. You can download them from the following website -

PS Eric - if you like Bruce Springstein you might want to give him a try. I know a guy who follows Bruce Springstein around the US on his tours. He loves Paul Kelly so much he regularly comes to Australia to see him perform.
