Paul Kelly, long celebrated as one of Australia’s finest songwriters, has spent more than forty years portraying the humor, warmth, and sorrow of everyday life. His new album Seventy embraces that tradition with renewed purpose, weaving stories that bring comfort, insight, and light to shared human experiences.
The album feels like an evening by the fire or a family reunion, where every track becomes its own small world — a ghostly whisper, a tender love ballad, a playful story, or an aching lament. Each piece adds to a rich portrait of life as Kelly reaches his seventieth year.
“It’s a beautiful way to celebrate turning 70.”
Paul Kelly’s Seventy offers a heartfelt storytelling journey that honors his 70th year through songs blending humor, nostalgia, and compassion.
