Then Again (John Farnham album)

Then Again... is a studio album by Australian singer John Farnham.[1] The album was released in Australia on 18 October 1993, and reached No. 1 on the ARIA charts. It is notable along with its predecessor, Chain Reaction, for the fact that Farnham himself co-wrote most of the songs on the album, in this case nine of the fourteen tracks. The album won ARIA Award for Highest Selling Album at the ARIA Music Awards of 1994, and was promoted in a nationwide tour titled "Talk of the Town", which began in early 1994. American artist Richard Marx, wrote four songs on the album and was a special guest on the album, playing piano on "The Reason Why"

Synopsis and writers Edit

Of its four singles, only "Seemed Like A Good Idea (At The Time)" reached the top 20, peaking at No. 16. However, "Angels" and "Talk of the Town" remained fan favourites and fixtures in Farnham's live sets in future years. The album was produced by Ross Fraser and Farnham, who co-wrote many of the featured tracks. Other writers included Phil Buckle, Richard Marx, Jon Stevens, and Russell Morris. The album featured a classic reworking of the Alice Cooper hit Only Women Bleed.
