The collected lyrics of DON WALKER, one of Australia’s greatest songwriters; ‘Songs’ will be released on the 1st July 2019!
.
“His stories written on the pages of the book lie silent, but as you read them they come to life. I can still hear the melodies but while I read the book, the music seems to fade into the background and new melodies, new meanings, present themselves.” — Jimmy Barnes
.
“His lyrics are lean, clear-eyed, love-thirsty and lonesome. A bulls-eye straight to the human heart.” — Paul Kelly
.
.
From Cold Chisel to Catfish to Tex, Don and Charlie to his solo work and many writing collaborations, ‘Songs’ are the collected lyrics of DON WALKER; one of Australia’s greatest songwriters.
On the back of the ‘Songs’ release on the 1st July 2019, DON WALKER & BAND will be out on the road in August and September 2019.
For over forty years, he has written songs that capture what it is to be Australian. Collected here, for the first time, are lyrics from his extensive career; from ‘Khe Sanh’ to ‘Flame Trees’, ‘Looking Forward Looking Back’ to ‘Harry Was a Bad Bugger’, Walker’s words are poetic, moving and incisive. These words live on the page, with or without the memory of music.
‘Songs’ will be released via Black Inc. on Monday, 1st July 2019, and will available in hardback. Interspersed with autobiographical sketches and anecdotes, and with an exclusive introduction by Jimmy Barnes, ‘Songs’ is a must-have for fans of Walker’s brilliant, razor-sharp storytelling. Also released on the same day will be the widely applauded ‘Shots’ on hardback for the first time.
