Sorry Nick Cave, Gotye, Joe Dolce, and whoever else is jostling over the crown, but Paul Kelly is Australia's greatest singer-songwriter.
Now comes Paul Kelly: Stories Of Me, a new documentary about the iconic and massively influential singer, which distributor Madman Films plans to tour around Australia in a series of massive event screenings, both in the cities and regionally. Here's the synopsis:
PAUL KELLY: STORIES OF ME charts the remarkable life of one of Australia's most gifted & beloved singer-songwriters. For almost 40 years, in over 350 songs, Paul Kelly has been mapping out the Australian landscape & its people.
For the first time in a feature length film, the man behind the music is revealed, as Kelly speaks candidly about the people who have helped shape his life and music. Featuring rare archival footage, never-before-seen live performances, interviews with Kelly's family members, former & current band members, music contemporaries & many more.
Here's the new poster and we also have the trailer below. Now if you'll excuse me, this news has sent me on a Paul Kelly music bender and I need to get back to it. Not familiar with Paul Kelly? Here's a good place to start.
