Paul Kelly The Merri Soul Sessions
Couldn't load pickup availability
Paul Kelly’s The Merri Soul Sessions brings his songwriting into a rich world of soul, gospel and rhythm and blues, presented here as a vinyl LP reissue.
Inspired by Vika Bull’s live performance of “Sweet Guy”, Kelly envisioned a soul revue with different singers sharing the spotlight, backed by one band. Recorded live in the studio beside Melbourne’s Merri Creek in Northcote, and co-produced with Steve Schram, the album captures the warmth and energy of musicians playing together.
Vika and Linda Bull, Clairy Browne, Dan Sultan and Kira Puru each bring their own character to Kelly’s songs, with Kelly also stepping up to the microphone. From the slow-burning “Smells Like Rain” to “Keep On Coming Back For More” and the uplifting closer “Hasn’t It Rained”, these 11 tracks celebrate expressive voices, heartfelt songwriting and the joy of collaboration.
