Description
David McComb was the lead singer and principal song-writer for Australian band The Triffids, whose track ‘Wide Open Road‘ is a classic of Australian rock. Unfortunately, in 1999 he lost a battle with drug addiction, on top of a rejection of a heart transplant. He was only 36 years old.
However, he had a large number of unreleased and unrecorded songs amongst his works. This is a collection of tracks by McComb recorded by his friends, those who knew him, those influenced by him, those who love his music. It has been called a labour of love, and that does indeed show through with the way the songs are tackled, . featuring members of both The Triffids and Blackeyed Susans and a Whos’ Who of Australian music.
What this album shows more than anything else is just what an amazing song-writer McComb really was. What the world lost when he passed away is made stark by this collection.
