There’s a lot of talk of him being ‘Australian Blues Royalty’ but there’s more to him than that. Although his solo material reflects that genre, his early associations (from that mid-eighties period where indie Melbourne was schooling indie Sydney) are very cool. Check out the Crown of Thorns platter Carnival and anything by Harem Scarem (he didn’t sing for them, just harp). Shared the stage with Dylan, Flamin’ Groovies and Costello and locally, Paul Kelly.
