Description
BOB BROWN, Australia’s most loved environmentalist, reads 10 of his poems, backed by stunning vocals from double ARIA award winner MONIQUE BRUMBY, over STEVE CRUMP’s musical motifs. (Monique also produced, mixed and mastered the CD).
For 50 years BOB BROWN’s voice has been sending out love and inspiration that helped change conceptions of what the world is and can be. Rarely do we have the privilege of being allowed into the private thoughts and reflections of someone with such a visible public presence.
In the introduction to his book of these poems (‘In Balfour Street’, NewPrint, 2010), Bob revealed that writing an occasional poem calmed his frustrations, expressing his affinity with Nature and with other people. He concluded, “I wanted to make sense of the world, but couldn’t”. The listener will, respectfully, disagree!
