Paul Kelly is a uniquely gifted storyteller, and here, using his lyrics as starting points, he reads stories of his life and his songs, including 'Before Too Long', 'To Her Door', 'Leaps And Bounds', 'Don't Start Me Talking', 'Dumb Things', 'From Little Things Big Things Grow' and 'How To Make Gravy'. Mirroring the structure of his legendary A to Z shows โ€“ where he performs around a hundred of his songs alphabetically over four nights โ€“ Kelly describes the highs and lows of performing, the art of songwriting, being on the road with the band, tales of his childhood, family, friends and fellow musicians.

He is then joined by special guests, as some of Australia's finest actors โ€“ Cate Blanchett, Russell Crowe, Hugh Jackman, Judy Davis and Ben Mendelsohn โ€“ each read a selected chapter.

Playful and honest, insightful and intimate, How to Make Gravy is an irresistible reflection on both the big and little things in life.

Paul Kelly is recognised as one of the most significant singer/songwriters in the country. He has recorded seventeen studio albums as well as several film soundtracks and live albums, in an influential career spanning more than thirty years. His prose has appeared in Meanjin, The Monthly, Rolling Stone and The Age. In 1997 Paul was inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame and in 2011 he received the Ted Albert Award For Outstanding Services to Australian Music at the APRA Music Awards.

Reviews

"The pre-eminent writer of his generation." "Paul Kelly is the Bob Dylan of Australia. This autobiographical work... provides more than ample evidence of it... Every line is an enlightening treat." "A carnival of ideas; memories of songs and friends, family, cities, shows, passions; insights into his own and reflections on other artists' work... The flavour of Kelly โ€“ his openness and honesty and passion for the detail of life โ€“ suffuses the book... The closest we've come to an insight into the thoughts and work methods of this great poet." "Here is a body of work that goes far beyond the cliche of Kelly as a plain-thinking everyman of folk-rock... This [book] is diverse, funny, moving and elaborate." "Paul Kelly's reminiscences about 30 years of creative endeavour have it all... Call it a gift." Expand reviews
