Once again, an artist has done something that has some of the major record companies panicking. The brilliant Paul Kelly is offering his songs from A-Z on his website http://www.paulkelly.com.au. From the 3rd of Jan 2008, you will able to download his tracks on a monthly/letter basis, so the first month will have all the songs starting with A then on through the letters until the last track is out there. If you havent heard Paul Kelly before, this is a great opportunity to get familiar with one of Australias finest.
