Eric Bogle has scored more awards than hot dinners! His "And the Band Played Waltzing Mathilda" (CD Two) was in the top dozen songs of the Australasian Performing Rights Association's 75 year celebrations and to emphasise this point a celebrity Top Fifty Peace Songs Poll held in Scotland placed the same song at No. 1 and "No Man's Land" (CD One) at No. 5 among very stiff competition which included John Lennon, Donovan, Elvis Costello and the Rolling Stones.
The songs on this collection come from a variety of concerts and studio appearances. The CDs feature Eric's most popular songs as well as some special rarities, and as always, despite the heavy nature of the subjects, Eric has the uncanny ability to hit you on the head with wit and humour.
