Australian Bob Dylan - This album is dope. In fact, all the Paul Kelly albums are dope. If you like Dylan, image that with a little Paul Simon mixed in.
If I were left on a desert island with 10 CDs, this would be one... - I bought my first Paul Kelly album in 1988 after reading a review in Rolling Stone and I have been hooked on him ever since. He is a storyteller, musician, and painter all at once...creating images in your mind and engaging listeners with his seemingly ordinary but incredibly compelling tales.I own most of Paul Kelly s albums, and I can say without a doubt that this is by far his best work. My favorite song ever is Careless. And, see if you can figure out what really happens in the title track, So Much Water. This song will leave you guessing...What a talented musician! I don t understand why he is not more appreciated here in the US.
Still sounds fresh - I recently replaced my long lost tape with this CD version. I can t say how great the tracks sound today, even after 15 years. I recall long drives listening over and over to Paul work his magic. You Can t Take It With You and Careless are sublime.
Paul s the man! - This was the first album I d ever heard from Paul Kelly and it blew my mind! I mean, this guy is so unique. Literate, catchy, haunting songs with killer wild-west guitar parts and real story lines. Not many like him. Check out the new LP Ways and Means for 2 CD s of solid bliss.
The Greatest Paul Kelly Albumn Ever!!! - I am an American who first fell in love with Kelly through his songs that found their way to the airwaves of American radio (Darling it Hurts, and Dumb Things).. I first stumbled across this albumn in a used tape store in the early 90 s and snatched it up. The haunting sound of this albumn and its perfectly penned lyrics move me to this day. No artist alive can put lyrics to paper then to song with the expresion and sincerity of Paul Kelly. I am a forever fan of his work and style. Thanks Paul, for all you put in and all I get out of your music! I too feel like a loner as an American who loves Paul Kelly. We should all get together and sing Kelly songs :-) Maybe in Texas!
