These guys made some of the most under-rated music of the late eighties IMO. Good to hear them still doing it and sounding great.

Yes! Chuck Prophet that's it! I was sitting here thinking who the heck does this sound like, or maybe it's actually him - then I saw this post.

Great Aussie band, led by Joe Camilleri, another of his bands called  JoJo Zep and the Falcons were pretty cool too

Same here. Definitely a Knopfler-esque guitar, very smooth. 6 from the Nottingham jury.

I always enjoy the RP selections from this CD (but don't seem to like the newer CD's as much) But it can't be found! Can't download. Can't find the CD. I guess that makes it an RP exclusive!

I lay in bed and counted the songs after this one so that when I finally got up I could go to the RP playlist and check who it was...The Black Sorrows!!! I was so stoked as I`m an Aussie (as they are ) in Switzerland and didn`t expect it. Having big problems trying to buy this online though...no luck on iTunes or Amazon.

Open your ears. It's no grammy winner, but it definitely has merit, IMHO.
