- The Basics
Formed in 1984 from the ashes of Jo Jo Zep and the Falcons by frontman Joe Camilleri, the Black Sorrows was supposed to be nothing more than a casual, Sunday night café band — a semi-acoustic addition to the Melbourne scene, offering covers of material by the likes of Van Morrison. But you just can't tie down talent like this . . .

The rumblings of a breakthrough for the Black Sorrows came with the 1987 album Dear Children, of which only 1,000 individually numbered copies were pressed until CBS stepped in with a distribution deal. The stage was then set for the addition of Tongan sisters Vika and Linda Bull on backing vocals, and the good times were, indeed, a-rollin'.

For many aficionados of the Black Sorrows, Harley and Rose marks the band's finest hour: multi-instrumentalist Joe Camilleri confidently leads his outfit through a well-balanced range of styles, redefining notions of country, folk, and blues. That said, it's hard to beat the infectious zydeco of early tracks like "Hold on to That Tiger."

Word has it that Black Sorrows frontman and maestro Joe Camilleri was once kicked out of a band because he sounded too much like Mick Jagger. For our money, he possesses the requisite levels of husky conviction to make Van Morrison a more likely musical relative, and it's no coincidence that blue-eyed soul material like "Brown Eyed Girl" defined the band's early years. Versatility and talent would quickly elevate the outfit away from pure covers territory, and the original material among these Essentials bears the stamp of timeless Aussie quality.
