Powderfinger's Bernard Fanning is set to release the vinyl version of his debut solo album Tea & Sympathy. When the CD was released in October last year, it entered the ARIA charts at #1 and has remained in the Top 10 since. The first cuts from it are the infectious tracks Wish You Well and Songbird, which were immediately added to high rotation across the country. Recorded at Peter Gabriel’s Real World Studios in the UK by Tchad Blake (Crowded House, Pearl Jam, Gomez), Tea & Sympathy sees Bernard crossing the country-rock bridge with what he describes as a 'porch record'.

The bulk of Tea & Sympathy was written by Bernard at his Brisbane residence over the last twelve months and features Melbourne multi-instrumentalist John Bedggood, who Bernard first met when they worked together on the Ned Kelly film. Bernard co-produced the fourteen tracks featured on Tea & Sympathy and as well as singing he played guitar, keyboards, harmonica and percussion.
