Beschreibung
In 1986, Australian singer John Farnham released an album that was to transform him from a faded pop star, who no record company would touch, into the most popular solo rock performer in Australia for a period of more than 30 years. Whispering Jack remains the top-selling album by an Australian in Australia. The first single, ?You're the Voice,' has achieved such iconic status that it is routinely referred to as Australia's unofficial national anthem. This book delves into that history and into that album to recover a crucial conjuncture in the development of Australian rock and popular music.
