  • Biography 2002
    THE BLACK SORROWS Biography 2002 Joe Camilleri is an Australian legend who has given his life to music. In the mid 80s following the success of his first band, Jo Jo Zep and The Falcons, Joe Camilleri gathered together a group of musician friends and dubbed them The Black Sorrows. The band began playing for the fun of it, recording independent albums and selling them out of the boot of his car. When radio picked up the classic track, 'Mystified',The Black Sorrows really took flight. They signed to CBS and proceeded to release some of Australia's most successful albums including the multi-platinum sellers Hold On To Me, Harley & Rose and The Chosen Ones. Over the past fifteen years, The Black Sorrows have toured Australia more times than anyone can remember, played sell out shows across Europe, won the ARIA for 'Best Band' and sold more than a million albums world-wide. Joe Camilleri's songs have become part of our lives. The Sorrows' string of hits is seemingly endless: Dear Children, Country Girls, Snake Skin Shoes, Harley & Rose, The Chosen Ones, Mystified, Ain't Love The Strangest Thing, Better Times, Never Let Me Go, Chained To The Wheel, Daughters of Glory, Stir It Up, New Craze... and he's certainly not done yet. Look around the world and you have to put Joe in the same company as people like Eric Clapton and Van Morrison - legends, performers whose careers span decades, transcending all styles and fads, performers who are loved for the fact that they're obviously in it for the music.

  • The Albums We're Looking Forward to in 2015
    The albums we’re looking forward to in 2015 CHRISTOPHER POLK/GETTY IMAGES Kendrick Lamar. GLOBE STAFF AND CORRESPONDENTS JANUARY 05, 2015 Sneak­attack releases might be the new normal for the biggest albums, but here are some major releases already scheduled for the first few months of 2015 — subject to change, naturally. KENDRICK LAMAR Title TBA The Los Angeles­based MC has the daunting task of following up his critically and commercially successful “good kid, m.A.A.d. city,” but if any artist is up to the challenge, it’s Lamar. The mercurial rapper has debuted two songs, the well­received, Isley Brothers sampling “i,” and a dazzling, determined untitled track he performed on “The Colbert Report.” Lamar is poised for a banner year; some reports claim his sophomore set could be imminent, possibly with a Beyoncé­like stealth launch. (Early 2015) KEN CAPOBIANCO JUSTIN TOWNES EARLE “Absent Fathers” CONTINUE READING BELOW ▼ A bookend to September’s “Single Mothers,” Earle’s latest is the other side of the coin. “Absent Fathers” completes a poignant song cycle about the messy nature of family dynamics. The country singer­songwriter knows plenty about the subject matter: His single mother mostly raised him while his father, alt­country renegade Steve Earle, struggled to kick drugs and get his life back on track. (The younger Earle would follow in Dad’s footsteps, too.) “Absent Fathers” was recorded in the same sessions for its predecessor, but Earle felt like he had made two separate albums. (Jan. 13) JAMES REED SLEATER­KINNEY “No Cities to Love” Ever since Sleater­Kinney went quiet in 2006, guitarist Carrie Brownstein’s comedy career has taken off in earnest thanks to “Portlandia.” But anyone counting on “No Cities to Love” to show nine years of accumulated dust hasn’t been paying attention: Brownstein and drummer Janet Weiss blew the doors off in 2011 with Wild Flag, and singer/guitarist Corin Tucker dropped the fiery “Kill My Blues” the next year.

  • A BOOKLET BECAME a BOOK Most Songs Were Recorded Live Between 2004 and 2010 at Various Places During the a to Z Shows. These
    A BOOKLET BECAME A BOOK Most songs were recorded live between 2004 and 2010 at various places during the A to Z shows. These usually ran over four nights – each night a different song list as I worked my way alphabetically through around a hundred songs. The idea was to present the songs undressed, in many cases close to how they sounded when they were first written, before being arranged with a band. I imagined a nice chunky booklet to accompany the recordings – some storytelling, notes on the songs and influences, and so on. I started writing a few things down and didn’t stop. Two years later I had a book. To replace the booklet that became a book, I decided to assemble pictures that would tell stories another way. I hope you enjoy them. The text on the following pages comes from How to Make Gravy, published by Penguin.
