The late seventies saw Australian music
going towards a punk style (featuring bands like the Saints) or continuing with
a more bluesy-country style as typified by the Adelaide band, Stars (not to be
confused with the band from Canada of the same name). Featuring impeccable
musicianship and wonderful songwriting courtesy of guitarists, Andy Durant and
Mal Eastick, they crafted two wonderful studio albums which, while having
American roots influences, told very Australian stories.
On Episode 25 of Love That Album, I’m
joined once again by host of Sitting In A Bar In Adelaide podcast, Michael
Pursche to discuss both the Stars studio albums, “Paradise” and “Land of
Fortune” and make reference to an all-star live album in tribute to Andy Durant
who sadly died in 1980 from cancer. I'm also extremely happy to be having a
chat to Mick Pealing, the former lead singer of Stars, to discuss his
recollections of recording these two wonderful albums and how the Andy Durant
Memorial Concert got arranged.
Eric Reanimator contributes another great
An Album I Love segment discussing the great "Radios Appear"
album by Radio Birdman.
