Paul Kelly

Paul Kelly's Songs From the South Vol. 1 & 2 has been re-released and for those who aren't familiar with the Australian Singer-Songwriter its indeed a revelation.  Covering 1985-2007, these 40 songs hit a wide range of topics with a wide range of musical styles.  Kelly never crossed over to the States, but that's what these types of compilations are for.

Artists like Kelly are all over the world.  And they are ripe for rediscovery.  With today's technology, it's easier than ever to do just that.   While I knew his name, I'd never heard much of his music, but this is a solid sampler. 

A good place to start for the curious.
