About this album

Radio Songs - A Best Of distils Cold Chisel’s hard-edged Australian rock into a strong introduction to one of the country’s most important bands. Issued in 1985, the compilation gathers key songs from their late-70s and early-80s peak, when Ian Moss’s guitar, Don Walker’s writing and Jimmy Barnes’s forceful vocals turned pub rock into something bigger and more lasting. Tracks such as Khe Sanh, Bow River, Cheap Wine and Flame Trees show the band’s range, from bruising hard rock to finely observed balladry. As a snapshot of their most durable work, it underlines why Cold Chisel became central to the Australian rock canon.
