“From Little Things Big Things Grow” by Kev Carmody
From the album Bloodlines (1993)
“From Little Things Big Things Grow” by Kev Carmody appears on 1 radio countdown from 1 station in 2018. It was first released in 1993 on the album Bloodlines. Its best result is #70 on the Triple M Ozzest 100 (2018).
Kev Carmody and Paul Kelly wrote "From Little Things Big Things Grow" together, and Carmody's recording, with Kelly right there beside him, sits on his 1993 album Bloodlines. It's a protest song that plays like a history lesson set to a strum, drawing on Vincent Lingiari and the Wave Hill walk-off, the Gurindji strike, and placing it within the long fight by Indigenous Australians for land rights and for reconciliation.
Both men sing on it; Carmody plays guitar and didgeridoo, Kelly guitar and harmonica. Put out as a CD single in 1993, it went nowhere on the charts, but when the Country Music Awards of Australia came around in 1994 it took Heritage Song of the Year, proof that some records do their work far from the hit parade.
