Notes

Official write-up:

Warner Music Australia and Festival Records are proud to present the this new 3-disc collection by the late, great Australian singer Jimmy Little, who passed away April 2, 2012. Songman is an ambitious set that brings together freshly-remastered versions of Jimmy's landmark comeback album Messenger and its follow-up Life's What You Make It, as well as some wonderful material from the archives.

1999's ARIA-winning Messenger found Jimmy teaming up with producer Brendan Gallagher for a collection of superbly reinterpreted Australian pop and rock songs including the Church's "Under the Milky Way," the Reels' "Quasimodo's Dream" and the Go-Betweens' "Cattle & Cane." It is widely acknowledged as Jimmy's classic album.

For 2004's Life's What You Make It Jimmy linked up again with Gallagher to add his golden touch to songs by PJ Harvey, Nick Lowe, Bruce Springsteen and more. Unfortunately the album was lost in a record company takeover shuffle; its reappearance now alongside the hugely popular Messenger places it where it belongs.

The third disc of Songman features five outtakes from the Messenger sessions including versions of the Triffids' "Wide Open Road" and AC/DC's "It's a Long Way To The Top" - and a superb, never before released concert recording Live at the Studio, Sydney Opera House, 2001.
