3 years ago, I was rapt to welcome one of the greatest working
songwriters in Australia to the podcast, Don Walker. Mostly known for
his songwriting and piano playing for Cold Chisel, he's also done two
albums under the Catfish moniker, been a member of supergroup Tex,
Don & Charlie, and made great albums in his own name supported by
his live band The Suave Fucks. What could be better?
I could get him for a return conversation....
Welcome to episode 196 of Love That Album.
Don has just released a new LP called Love Songs. You may think of Don as the guy who writes songs like Harry Was a Bad Bugger or The Year That He Was Cool which look at life's dark side. The fact is he's always
written love songs, and the new LP is a collection of them....just
through Don's lens of vision. We discuss the new album obviously, but
we go into many other topics.....the longevity of art, Paul Kelly,
salsa music and Cold Chisel's drummer Steve Prestwich's musical
expertise in a way I was not expecting. Tune in folks......I'm
absolutely ecstatic to have had the opportunity to have spoken with a
songwriting hero for a second time.
Love Songs is out now where you get your music. If you're in Australia,
catch Don on his national tour. Look at
