Kenny Soundtrack CD - Import

" From the biggest festival to the smallest church social, KENNY SMYTH delivers port-a-loos to them all. Ignored and undervalued, he is nonetheless a knight in shining overalls taking care of the business no-one else wants to know about with stoic professionalism laced with laconic wit. He is part-philosopher, part-comedian and all heart, doing his best to balance the competing tensions of fatherhood, family and sewage. It's a wryly funny, warm-hearted tale of an ordinary bloke, full of deadpan humour about the absurdity of everyday situations. While Kenny is an archetypal Australian he is not a caricature of the adorable larrikin. " The delightfully poignant score by RICHARD PLEASANCE draws on bluegrass elements to create a rootsy, earthy, string-driven soundtrack. The music also features a number of original songs sourced from director Clinton Jacobson's trips to Nashville. These locals were not slick session players but more unlikely individuals, such as a banjo-playing sushi chef and an octogenarian singer. Their tracks are raw, but full of emotion and enrich the texture of the film's soundtrack with an honesty and dignity to match Kenny's. Listen out also for Kenny's iconic version of BACHMAN " TURNER OVERDRIVE's 'Takin Care of Business'.
