The fire of love. The pain of love. Love of family. Love entwined in memory and place.
Love has always been at the heart of many of Paul Kelly’s greatest songs. To Her Door, How to Make Gravy, Careless, If I Could Start Today Again, Deeper Water, When I First Met Your Ma, Sweet Guy, Dumb Things, Firewood and Candles, The Oldest Story in the Book.
All with a different angle on that most boundless subject of them all.
Kelly’s latest album, Fever Longing Still, his first of new original material since 2018’s Nature, delivers 12 additions to that superb catalogue of love songs spanning more than 40 years.
The album’s title comes from a line in Sonnet 147 by Shakespeare, whose writing has thrilled and inspired Kelly ever since schooldays.
When you hear an album as strong as Fever Longing Still, you know that time is now.
