    The thing I really like about these duets is that whatever people think, the oldies prove there's life in the old dogs yet. I haven't seen a bad performance from the seasoned pro's like Max, Brod Smith, Doug Parkinson, Russell Morris etc. They can all still sing!

    Vale Max Merritt. Best known for his 1975 hit Slippin’ Away, with his band Max Merritt and The Meteors, which reached number two while his other well known hit was Western Union Man.

    'Slipping Away' was such a change in style for Max Merritt when it came out in the 70's, yet it has become an Australian classic that just never gets old. Max was also a classic who was taken before he really got old, but he has left us with the gift of his music. Let it slide Max.....

    This is just tremendous. Max's vocals are every bit as good as they were 35 years ago. And Catherine's voice is the perfect match for Max. Her skill in moving from melody to harmony and back again is magnificent! I've played this a dozen times today.

    If people don't know the Stewie that Max referred to, it was Stewie Speer the drummer for his band the Meteors from 1967 and was in the big car prang the band were involved in. Stewie had his legs crushed and lost the top of some fingers. Max lost an eye. Max is another Kiwi by the way!

    Didn't think that you could come near the original recording of that song, and I hadn't heard of Catherine Britt, but this version is brilliant. She totally complements Max's vocals and is a uniquely outstanding singer in her own right. Nice tribute to Stewie. From the concerts, I vividly remember the hair, the cap, the beard and the eyes. We lost him almost 30 years ago. Thanks for posting.
