Paul Kelly and the Messengers' 1992 album Comedy is one of those classic under-appreciated gems - just about a perfect hour of music. While Kelly's records since then have been a little inconsistent, his body of work over the last 25 year is pretty impressive. He put out a greatest hits (Songs of the South) collection in 2008, but it's only available as an import in the United States so here's 30 of my favorite Paul Kelly songs.
Don't Start Me Talking
From St Kilda To Kings Cross
Before Too Long
Dumb Things
She's Rare
Shane Warne Song
Somebody's Forgetting Somebody (Somebody's Letting Somebody Down)
Khe Sanh
Luck
Little Kings
Let's Fall Again
The Foggy Fields Of France
Moon In The Bed
I Had Forgotten You
Big Heart
Last Train to Heaven
Your Little Sister (Is a Big Girl Now)
Special Treatment
Difficult Woman
Young Lovers
Careless
Little Decisions
Same Old Walk
Ball And Chain
You're So Fine
