Iconic tracks from some of Australia's biggest acts including John Farnham, Jimmy Barnes and Paul Kelly will feature on Sony Music Australia's brand new compilation album, Drought Relief.

Set for release tomorrow (19 October), all funds raised will go towards supporting the holistic work of Rural Aid and assisting young Australians affected by the current drought. 

"I know everyone in Australia shares deep concern for the plight of our farmers and rural communities, who are the very backbone of Australia," Chairman and CEO, Australia & New Zealand and President, Asia, Sony Music Entertainment and Founding Board Director, Sony Foundation Australia, Denis Handlin AO said.

"The community is currently enduring the worst crisis some have ever faced, and on behalf of Sony Music Entertainment Australia and Sony Foundation, our thoughts are with all with those affected by this drought.

"Sony Music Entertainment Australia is proud to support the 2018 Drought Relief through this special 2CD set and download.”

 Other names to feature on the LP includes Midnight Oil, Delta Goodrem, Jessica Mauboy and Guy Sebastian, and international acts like Eurythmics and Billy Joel.

“Our special thanks go to all of the artists for generously donating their tracks, royalty free. We also thank all our partners who have made releasing this special album possible," Handlin added.
 
"As Australians, we can be proud of our inherent values of mateship and lending a helping hand wherever possible. I encourage you to get behind this very worthy cause and help our rural communities suffering in this drought through the power of music.”
