New tracks by Ben Evolent and Wagons, plus an old favourite by Kate Bush, are followed by a chat with acclaimed Australian singer-songwriter Don Walker. Katie and Don talk about his work as a solo performer and with Cold Chisel and Tex, Don & Charlie; his new book of song lyrics, Songs (published by Black Inc.); the difference between reading and hearing lyrics; the close relationship between a writer and his or her editor; and a Don Walker song that is a particular favourite of Katie’s called ‘The Healing Power of Helpless Laughter’. Here is the playlist:

  • Shiver – Ben Evolent
  • Keep on Coming Back – Wagons
  • Running Up That Hill – Kate Bush
  • Everybody – Don Walker
  • The Healing Power of Helpless Laughter – Tex, Don & Charlie
