[Another Son]

'To Her Door' is an anthem in Australia. One from The Great Australian Song Book.

My favourite Paul Kelly song is the version of 'Randwick Bells' by Jimmy Little, (an Aboriginal Australian artist), from his award-winning album, 'Messenger'.

A lot of Kelly's songs are too simplistic for my taste - simple, obvious rhymes, for example. Still, using simple rhyming techniques didn't stop Bob Dylan from winning the Nobel Prize for Literature.
