About this album

Harley And Rose is a standout album in The Black Sorrows’ catalogue, bringing together folk rock, country rock and pop rock with sharp hooks and a distinctly Australian feel. Issued in 1990, it followed the group’s rise in the late 1980s and showed Joe Camilleri’s band at their most assured, balancing rootsy warmth with polished songcraft. The title track became one of their best-known songs, and the album’s mix of melody, grit and understated swing helped cement their reputation beyond the pub-rock circuit. It remains one of the group’s most admired records and a key statement of their sound.
