God Told Me to

Back in 1990, Texas songwriter Butch Hancock staged a massive, six-night event entitled No Two Alike, wherein he played six straight evenings at Austin's Cactus Cafe. In the process, he recorded 140 of his own songs without repeating one. He then released the output later on cassette tapes. The reason for citing Hancock in a Paul Kelly review, particularly this one, is simply to establish the only precedent for this wonderful eight-disc live box set, the A to Z Recordings. Between 2004 and 2010, the revered Australian songwriter would perform his now legendary A to Z concerts, during which he would play two (largely) unplugged sets per evening for four nights, performing many of his songs, all in alphabetical order.

Double album captures Paul's triumphant show from the forecourt of Sydney Opera House which was broadcast across the country Live on the ABC. Featuring songs from his award winning album 'Life is Fine' and well as Paul Kelly classics 'To Her Door', 'From Little Things…', 'How To Make Gravy', 'Before Too Long', 'Deeper Water' and many more.

Australia’s greatest and most enduring songwriter, Paul Kelly, brings fans ‘Songs From The South 1985-2019’, a collection of songs that spans the depth and breadth of his illustrious career including recent studio album releases, ‘Life Is Fine’ and ‘Nature’.
