Background

Keating always held a special fondness for Australia and New Zealand and planned to release an album just for the two countries where he collaborated with both Australian and New Zealand artists.[2] Keating explained "I have an amazing relationship with Australia and New Zealand. You have welcomed me with open arms and made me feel like one of your own and for that I thank you. So... I thought I would put an album together especially for you! On this record I have had the chance to work with some of your best and it has been an inspiration".[2] The majority of the album was produced by Greg Wells and was recorded in Sydney's Studios 301.[2]

The album also included collaborations with international artists Cat Stevens, Lulu, LeAnn Rimes and Elton John, all of which had been previously released.

Critical reception

So far the album has received positive reviews. Australian reviewer Cameron Adams of Herald Sun gave the album a 3 out of 5 stars.[3]
