b'The late seventies saw Australian music going towards a punk style (featuring bands like the Saints) or continuing with a more bluesy-country style as typified by the Adelaide band, Stars (not to be confused with the band from Canada of the same name). Featuring impeccable musicianship and wonderful songwriting courtesy of guitarists, Andy Durant and Mal Eastick, they crafted two wonderful studio albums which, while having American roots influences, told very Australian stories.\\nOn Episode 25 of Love That Album, I\\u2019m joined once again by host of Sitting In A Bar In Adelaide podcast, Michael Pursche to discuss both the Stars studio albums, \\u201cParadise\\u201d and \\u201cLand of Fortune\\u201d and make reference to an all-star live album in tribute to Andy Durant who sadly died in 1980 from cancer. I\'m also extremely happy to be having a chat to Mick Pealing, the former lead singer of Stars, to discuss his recollections of recording these two wonderful albums and how the Andy Durant Memorial Concert got arranged.\\nEric Reanimator contributes another great An Album I Love segment discussing the great "Radios Appear" album\\xa0by Radio Birdman.\\nDownload the show either from http://lovethatalbum.blogspot.com or search for \\u201clovethatalbum\\u201d in the itunes store.\\nSend any feedback to rrrkitchen@yahoo.com.au \\u2013 either written or mp3.\\nJoin the facebook group at http://www.facebook.com/groups/lovethatalbum\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
