"Cannot Buy My Soul"

Tribute to Kev Carmody

Australian singer/songwriter Paul Kelly's next project is a labour of love –
a tribute album to indigenous Australia singer Kev Carmody.

Kelly has brought together the cream of Australian performers to record
'Cannot Buy My Soul - The Songs Of Kev Carmody'.

Kelly himself performs 'Droving Woman' with Missy Higgins and Augie March. The line-up of artists includes John Butler Trio, Bernard Fanning, The Waifs, Tex Perkins, Steve Kilbey and Troy Cassar-Daly.

Carmody released his first album 'Pillars of Society' in 1989. His music has crossed various genres including rock, country, folk and reggae.

'Cannot Buy My Soul – The Songs Of Kev Carmody' will be a 2CD set. The first album will be the covers, the second CD the originals.

Kev is the artist most mentioned when people try to talk about popular songs from other indigenous artists and refer to the track as that artists song... there's always some tout in the room to remind them "no actually that's a Kev Carmody song" e.g. Big Things Little Things

I read about this album a few weeks back and have now heard two tracks on ABC radio... its due for release approx Feb 17 and sounds great!!
