Paul Kelly - Rivers And Rain

Rivers And Rain is a compilation album by Australian singer-songwriter Paul Kelly, released in August 2023 via Gawd Aggie and Universal Music.

Rivers and Rain is second in a series of themed compilations from Australian music icon Paul Kelly.

Paul has personally curated 21 tracks from his vast catalogue exploring the theme of Rivers and Rain. Paul writes: “…When I’m traveling and visiting new cities I always look for the water, be it a river, a lake, a canal, the sea or a swimming pool. If I were to make a compilation of all my ‘water’ songs the track list would be overflowing! So for the second instalment in this themed series, I’ve decided to narrow the channel to Rivers and Rain…”.

This compilation also includes one new song, “Northern Rivers”, recorded last year and previously unreleased. “Northern Rivers” is a love song set in contrasting landscapes.

Rivers and Rain is another project testament to Paul Kelly’s five decades as one of the greatest songwriters in Australia.

This double album 2LP record set is on black vinyl housed in a gatefold sleeve with printed inner sleeves, pressed in Europe via Universal.
