The Best Of All Trades

24 songs, 2CD set, slimline box, 8 page booklet.

Songs from the heart of one of Australia's most honest observers of the human spirit... this 2-CD set brings together Gary's most recent songwriting (and a couple of older songs revisited) with a skilfully pared-down sound featuring the evocative and sympathetic guitar work of David Hume: "gives the songs an engaging intimacy, reminiscent of his early recordings, as well as a fresh energy..." (Jim Low/Simply Australia).

David Hume - acoustic, slide and electric guitars
and
Roger Ilott - acoustic guitars, backing vocals, pedal steel guitar
