About this album

Plain And Simple is a finely written folk album that plays to Eric Bogle and John Munro’s strengths as storytellers, satirists and observers of everyday life. Released in 1981, it draws on the intimacy of the acoustic folk tradition while moving easily between humour, political edge and poignant character sketches. Bogle’s reputation as one of Australia’s most distinctive songwriters gives the record added weight, and Munro’s contributions help shape its conversational, no-frills feel. Songs such as Lady From Bendigo, Glasgow Lullaby and No Man’s Land show how direct writing and plainspoken delivery can carry real emotional force.
