If you didn't have a social conscience before you heard this album, you'd grow one quickly enough. This album is an absolute classic. Kev Carmody at his grittiest, uncompromising best. Get angry in righteous solidarity with Pillars of Society or tune into the soulful slide guitar and exemplary lyricism of Twisted Rail. But my absolute favourite of all time is Kev's Thou Shalt not Steal - probably the most heartful rendition of black dispossession history in Australia EVER. At his Cannot Buy My Soul gig in Brisbane 1 August 2009 Kev Carmody, now in his 60s, made a point of acknowledging how each generation of artists re-tells the same unchanging story-lines of the elders in their own musical styles, re-interpreted for their own generations. True true - but nobody makes Kev Casrmody redundant. He continues to rock this planet sublimely! Kev also wryly noted, dignified but self-effacing, that if he had the industry know-how that these fantastic musicians had taught him while preparing for the Cannot Buy My Soul tribute, he would have made a lot more money in his lifetime. Ain't that the truth then. His music deserves much more recognition than it gets. This, in itself, is so typical of how so many Indigenous Australians have contributed SO VERY MUCH to Australian society for so little recompense. One more example of how generational poverty works, and in this case partly due to the fact that Kev Carmody poured his heart and soul into creating some of Australia's finest musical art without focussing on financial gain. Make Indigenous poverty history - and start by buying more of Kev Carmody's music - because although I imagine him living somewhere at the good end of a bush track in a great family environment, he's probably not the richest man on the planet and I reckon Australia owes him a vote of thanks for his life's work.
