Iconic Australian artists Paul Kelly and Charlie Owen have collaborated over many years, but had never recorded an album together. This changed with the release of the superb 2016 'Death’s Dateless Night,' an album comprised of impassioned ballads mostly written by others - including Cole Porter, Townes Van Zandt, Leonard Cohen, Hank Williams, Lennon/McCartney, and more.
"The wandering style and stripped-back texture are vintage Kelly, and the slide guitar classic Owen. The record is a strong continuation of the musical explorations of these great Australian artists who, while they can always keep us guessing, are forever able to validate why they are held in such high esteem. In Kelly’s words, “no one else could have such grace.”" - PopMatters
