Like his Aussie colleague Nick Cave, Salmon includes a gentler part; nevertheless, whereas Cave thought we would gradually re-imagine himself because the expat poet laureate of rock and roll & roll’s smack-addled underbelly, Salmon continues to be refreshingly persona free of charge, a good example being his are one half from the Darling Downs. Relinquishing vocal responsibilities to Ron Peno of Passed away Pretty popularity, Salmon provides pipes an escape and allows his fingers perform all the talking.
