Tough love

The Smith Street Band

The Smith Street Band's big, blokey folk-punk bawl propels stories of rare insight and sensitivity, writes Michael Dwyer.

The joy of sets

Midnight Oil on the water, captured in a "twin-tank" compilation of recordings and rarities.

Repackaging the hits for three musical giants means a full tank of hits and bits and a happily emptied wallet for fans.

Translucent clarity: Andrew Haveron.

​Two of the three works in this concert focused on the practice, common before the recording age, of transcribing orchestral music for smaller groups so that listeners could get to know the music in their own homes.

Lunch with Jimmy Barnes

Refocusing: Jimmy Barnes at Pellegrini's.

Australia's favourite rocker says telling the story of his early life has been a cathartic experience.
