More Information
The story and the songs: How To Make Gravy (Paul's 576 page memoir) packaged with The A To Z Recordings (8CD Box Set) in a deluxe slip case.Paul Kelly’s long-awaited memoir has its genesis in a series of Spiegeltent concerts first staged in 2004. Over four nights Kelly performed one hundred of his songs in alphabetical order. From the anecdotes he told in between songs grew How to Make Gravy – a memoir like no other. Superb storytelling from Australia's most prodigious singer-songwriter.
How to Make Gravy’s four sections mirror the four nights of the A-Z shows. Each chapter starts with a song lyric followed by a story. Some stories tell Kelly's personal and family history, some take you on a road trip with the band, some form an idiosyncratic history of popular music, others offer insights into the songwriter's art – from the point of inspiration to writing, honing, collaborating, performing, recording and reworking.
Playful and honest, insightful and intimate, How to Make Gravy is an irresistible reflection on the big and little things in life.
