Description: John Farnham's Whispering Jack by Graeme Turner, Professor or Dr. Graeme Turner Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description "An exploration of the history and cultural significance of Australias top-selling album by an Australian in Australia, often referred to as Australias unofficial national anthem"-- Publisher Description The album examined in this book transformed the singer John Farnham from a faded teen pop star into the most popular solo rock performer in Australia, in a career that has lasted for more than 30 years. Whispering Jack remains the top-selling album by an Australian artist in Australia, and constitutes the turning point in Farnhams bid to achieve credibility as an adult contemporary musician. The first single from the album, Youre the Voice, has achieved such iconic status that it is routinely referred to as Australias unofficial national anthem. The book examines the album, its context and that history in order to recover a crucial conjuncture in the development of Australian rock and popular music, one that has previously been ignored in Australian popular music studies. Author Biography Graeme Turner is Professor Emeritus at the University of Queensland, Australia.
