'Paul Kelly is not only Australia's premiere singer-songwriter for grown-ups, but also one of our two or three essential poets.' - Imre Salusinszky
'His lyrics soar into . . . elation.' - Robert Adamson
'At its best, Paul Kelly's art is a meeting of opposites, a gift for melody and a gritty sense of reality. It is like seeing ribbons on a barbed wire fence.' - Martin Flanagan
'There is something unique and powerful about the way Kelly mixes up everyday detail with the big issues of life, death, love and struggle - not a trace of pretence or fakery in there.' - Neil Finn
'What John Brack has done in painting and Gerald Murnane in literature, Kelly has achieved in song. All three find the little moments - sometimes bland, sometimes tortured - that speak not of the bush legends, but the heroism of everyday life.' - Chris McAuliffe
'Paul Kelly is one of the finest songwriters of his generation.' - Bill Flanagan
