In 1986, the Australian singer John Farnham released an album that was to transform him from a faded pop star, who no record company would touch, into the most popular solo rock performer in Australia for a period of more than thirty years. Farnham is now ‘the singer’s singer’, and the biggest drawcard for arena concerts in Australia. Whispering Jack remains the top-selling album by an Australian in Australia, and constitutes the major turning point in Farnham’s bid to achieve credibility as an adult contemporary rock musician. The first single, ‘You’re the Voice’, has achieved such iconic status that it is routinely referred to as Australia’s unofficial national anthem. This book delves into that history and into that album to recover a crucial conjuncture in the development of Australian rock and popular music.
