Various Artists - Cannot Buy My Soul: The Songs Of Kev Carmody

Cannot Buy My Soul is a tribute album by Various Australian Artists performing songs written by Indigenous singer-songwriter Kev Carmody, originally released in February 2007 via EMI Virgin Records.

In July 2020, EMI announced the re-release of the seminal Kev Carmody 2007 tribute album Cannot Buy My Soul, with six new recordings of Carmody’s songs.

The 2020 edition is ageless contribution to the Black Lives Movement, celebrating Indigenous song writing and featuring new recordings from artists such as Courtney Barnett, Kasey Chambers & Jimmy Barnes, Mo'Ju & Birdz (produced by Trials), Kate Miller-Heidke, Alice Skye and Electric Fields.

Kev Carmody is one of Australia's pre-eminent indigenous singer-songwriters. A new audience was alerted to Carmody through the 2007 album Cannot Buy My Soul, produced by Paul Kelly, with versions of his songs covered by artists including Bernard Fanning, Missy Higgins, Troy Cassar-Daley and Archie Roach plus Carmody's own performances.

The album has been refreshed for this 2020 edition, produced by Siân Darling, with the original 32 tracks and six new versions of his songs released on CD.

The vinyl edition includes the six new recordings and thirteen of the original songs (a total of nineteen songs), across a double album 2LP format.

The album is being released on vinyl for the very first time, in a limited pressing on red and black vinyl, replicating the image of the Indigenous Australian flag.

This double album 2LP record set is on black and red coloured vinyl housed in a gatefold sleeve with printed inner sleeves, pressed in Australia via EMI Records.
