CD DetailsSynopsis
Album Description Smoke is an 1999 album by Paul Kelly and Melbourne bluegrass band, Uncle Bill, which was composed of Gerry Hale on guitar, dobro, mandolin, fiddle and vocals, Adam Gare on fiddle, mandolin and vocals, Peter Somerville on banjo and vocals and Stuart Speed on double bass. The album featured a mix of old and new Kelly songs treated in classic bluegrass fashion. The album peaked at #36 on the ARIA chart and features cover-art by Reg Mombassa. A rich batch of story songs - "Our Sunshine" for example draws upon the story of Ned Kelly's life, in particular the 1991 book by Robert Drewe, Our Sunshine and Ned Kelly: A Short History by Ian Jones.

CD ReviewsPK does Bluegrass - with a lot of help from Uncle Bill Tim Roberts | 02/08/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "I have to say I didn't know what to expect when I heard PK was doing a bluegrass record but after one time through on the CD player it was an instant favourite. Some great versions of PK songs such as Sydney from a 727 & Taught be Experts, and some great new songs with Uncle Bill.I was lucky enough to see PK & Uncle Bill perform all these songs on concert twice in one weekend - Friday night at the Great Northern in Byron Bay and Sunday at the Waterloo in Brisbane - and both PK and Uncle Bill were outstanding. If you like Paul Kelly or just bluegrass music you will love this albumn." A Great Combination Ben Fitzgerald | 07/06/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "I had no idea that Paul Kelly had recorded this CD. As an Australian living in America, I lose track of what's happening on the Aussie music scene. When my parents sent me this CD for my birthday this year, I was blown away. I've been a long time Kelly fan and during my time here in the US I have fallen deeply in love with Bluegrass. This CD brings them together perfectly. Perfectly! If this was all you knew of Paul Kelly, you'd swear he created this style of music. Along with Uncle Bill, he has stripped bluegrass to its magical roots and injected the soul of Australian folk/pop music. If you think you don't like bluegrass, or don't know what it is, have a listen. I think you'll like it. If you're a Paul Kelly fan, then you already own it, I'm sure. My personal favourites are "Whistling Bird", "Our sunshine" and "I can't believe we were married". But they're all good. Paul, you rule. Peter and Lorraine, thanks for the CD."
