The Hollow Men - The Promise & Shades of Blue (Rockarena ABC)

+  
I used to try and see The Hollow Men as much as I could live when I first came out here to Melbourne in 1986, such a great band getting ever more forgotten as the years go by it seems. I remember one of their final gigs which was all just covers like this one. Somewhere I still have a cassette with them playing Blasphemous Rumours at a session and it was brilliant. Remember also when Paul Kelly wanted to be just like Billy Baxter?
