In a career first, Brisbane-based songwriter and musician, PETER HARVEY of Carol Lloyd Band and Rough Red fame, has released an independently-produced solo album, “SHANGHAI PLY”.
This new, self-produced body of work puts HARVEY up there with the all-time great contemporary Australian story-tellers, with vivid excursions to both dark and enlightened - and at times, uplifting - corners of the male psyche.
This is very engaging work, destined to be loved by many, as his songs live long in our collection of favourites.
No wonder.
His deceptively-easy melodies and catchy riffs hook into our heads and carry us forward, traveling with him from love to loneliness, to home and family, and to the almost spiritual male state of true Australian mateship - with brief escapes for refreshment on the ocean’s tides.
PETER HARVEY’S ‘SHANGHAI PLY’ is indeed, a five-star journey- with upgrades.” Carol Lloyd, December 2008 |
