Universal Music Australia Anne Kirkpatrick Annethology Cd

Almost forty years after cutting a first, tentative 'solo' single and three dozen years after crafting an acclaimed debut album, Anne Kirkpatrick, has painstakingly drawn together, as Annethology, the essence of her impressive and admirable body of work - a long-awaited 'Best Of' ranging across a wide musical terrain. Selected from her 13 album releases from 1974 through to 2010.

A recording artist since the age of 12 Anne, daughter of revered Australian country music pioneers Slim Dusty and Joy McKean, staked her claim early as a woman of distinctive voice. Her albums, beginning with 1974's earthy Down Home and proceeding through to what music historian Glenn A. Baker described as the "creatively courageous" Showman's Daughter album (of recent times) have demonstrated a gradual, comfortable evolution and her own light on the hill to aspiring female country performers.
