About this album
Modern English is a strong mid-career compilation that showcases Jon English at his most distinctive, blending rock heft, pop hooks and theatrical flair. Issued in 1983, it draws together the songs that defined his Australian breakthrough, including the dramatic storytelling of Hollywood Seven, the balladry of Words Are Not Enough and the swaggering Hold Back The Night. English was already a major name by then, known for his TV, stage and recording success, and this collection underlines why his blend of radio-ready songwriting and larger-than-life performance connected so widely. It is a concise portrait of one of Australian pop-rock’s most recognisable voices.
