A distinguished 40-year career has seen Kelly chalk up multi-platinum sales, numerous ARIA Awards and an ARIA Hall Of Fame induction in 1997, however that No. 1 had proved to be elusive. LIFE IS FINE changes all that, the album delivering an energy reminiscent of Paul’s finest ‘80s recordings, and garnering a new legion of fans alongside critical acclaim.
The album’s highlights include sizzling opener, Rising Moon, rocking lead single Firewood and Candles and fun songs like Leah: The Sequel and My Man’s Got A Cold. The humorous tunes contrast with another of Kelly’s exquisite songs of regret, Letters in the Rain, and the rich imagery at the heart of Petrichor.
Featured on the album are Vika and Linda Bull on vocals, Dan Kelly and Ashley Naylor on guitars, Bill McDonald on bass, Cameron Bruce on keys and Peter Luscombe on drums.
Life Is Fine is one of Kelly’s strongest and most evocative albums, another treasure to sit proudly on the shelf beside any of his earlier classics.
Frontier Touring are thrilled to announce one of Australia’s most loved and respected artists Paul Kelly will embark on a colossal Antipodean tour this November and December. Touring in celebration of his album Life Is Fine (out now through EMI) which just debuted at the top of the ARIA Album Chart, Kelly will tour Australia, visiting both regional and metro cities, before heading to New Zealand for three theatre performances.
Kelly will be joined by a stellar line-up of special guests across the tour, with Steve Earle and Middle Kids supporting for the Brisbane to Perth leg of the tour, Busby Marou supporting in Darwin, Cairns, Townsville and on the New Zealand leg of the tour, Bic Runga supporting all New Zealand shows, and Sahara Beck as support at the Rockhampton show.
Don’t miss your chance to see Australia’s foremost singer-songwriters Paul Kelly in concert this November. Fans are encouraged to act quickly in securing their tickets; all shows are on sale Monday 28 August.
