The Kev Carmody tribute album ‘Cannot Buy My Soul’ has been expanded with new recordings by Courtney Barnett, Kasey Chambers & Jimmy Barnes, Mo’Ju & Birdz (produced by Trials), Kate Miller-Heidke, Alice Skye, Archie Roach and Electric Fields.

The Chambers and Barnes track ‘Black Bess’ has also been released as a preview.

A second song ‘Rider In The Rain’ by Mo’Ju & Birdz has also been released. Kev Carmody said, “It’s great to hear the younger ones take it into their own genre, add their own words to them. That’s part of the oral tradition, pass it on.”

The original ‘Cannot Buy My Soul’ was released in 2007. It featured Carmody songs by Bernard Fanning, John Butler Trio, Steve Kilbey, Clare Bowditch, Paul Kelly and The Waifs. The new edition will feature all of the original songs plus the six new tracks.
