Stars - Song For The Road (live)

Stars were an Australian country rock band formed in Adelaide in 1975 and disbanding in 1979. Founding members were Glyn Dowding on drums; Mal Eastick on guitar and vocals; Mick Pealing on vocals; and Graham Thompson on bass guitar. They were joined by guitarist, songwriter, Andrew Durant in 1976 and relocated to Melbourne. Thompson then left and was replaced by a succession of bass guitarists including Roger McLachlan (ex-Little River Band) and Ian McDonald.
The band's debut album, Paradise, peaked at No. 14 on the Australian Kent Music Report in 1978 and included their highest-charting single "Look After Yourself" which reached No. 30. Their second album, Land of Fortune, was released in June 1979 and peaked at No. 35. By that time Durant had been diagnosed with cancer, the band had their last performance on 5 November and Durant died on 6 May 1980 at age 25. A tribute performance by Stars members and other Australian acts followed in August and a double-LP, Andrew Durant Memorial Concert was released in 1981. It peaked at No. 8 on the albums chart with proceeds donated to Andrew Durant Cancer Research Foundation.
One of Australia's finest country rock bands alongside The Dingoes and Country Radio and even touches of Carson.

I love Stars. An iconic Aussie band who have grown old disgracefully. Still producing beautiful reflective music. I'm 74 years young and I'd go and see them play any day of the year. Hats off to a great, and I'm sure, sometimes unrated band.
