This is a precious record of the world music pioneer Kim Sanders who sadly passed away in 2013. ‘No lounge-room cowboys here’ said Kim with customary humour.
Kim was one of Australia’s finer ‘world’ musicians. On Bent Grooves he and his friends have a lot of fun and their musical embrace is spectacularly wide. But they steer well clear of the shallows. All have ‘paid their dues’.
