Bernard Fanning – Tea and Sympathy

When the dust settled on his main-stage day job, Fanning retreated to a deeply personal palette of folk rock, acoustic warmth, and soul-searching lyricism. Tea & Sympathy stands as a defining Australian record, capturing an artist baring his soul with sun-bleached melodies that feel right at home with a salty breeze off Laguna Bay.
