Little River Band founding member Graeham Goble wrote and co-wrote nine of the ten songs and produced John Farnham’s Uncovered album in 1980. Many Little River Band alumni performed on the album such as Mal Logan, Barry Sullivan, Derek Pellicci, David Briggs. Ric Formosa arranged and conducted the strings. Tommy Emmanual also features on guitar. Graeham had seen John Farnham perform ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water’ on The Don Lane Show, Channel 9, Australia, November 22nd, 1979. Graeham then set out to write and record this album and reignite Farnham’s career. Within three years John found himself the lead singer of Little River Band, replacing Glenn Shorrock.
