Indigenous Australian singer and musician Archie Roach is the subject of celebration in his native country, as his debut album Charcoal Lane is turning 25 and being treated to a reissue that features some bonus cover songs.
 
Fellow Aussie musicians Courtney Barnett and Paul Kelly have paired up to pay tribute to the record's title track. Kelly originally co-produced the album with Steve Connolly in 1990, but now you can hear his updated version of the song featuring Barnett.
 
The anniversary edition of Charcoal Lane arrives on November 6 through Warner Music Australia. Listen to Kelly and Barnett's take on the song of the same name in the player below [via The Guardian].
