Aussie music legend Ross Wilson declared peace last night in Melbourne with the release of his new album `I Come In Peace`.
The origins of 'I Come in Peace' date back around 8 years when Ross wrote the title track with Rick Brewster from The Angels and first performed the song at the 'Gimme Ted' benefit concert for Ted Mulry.The Ross Wilson showcase at The Toff In Town in Melbourne featured a two hour show spanning 50 years of the RW career.
Wilson kicked off with his very first single 'Louie Louie' from 1965, released by The Pink Finks.
There was a nod to the Party Machine, as well as a slab of Daddy Cool (Bom Bom, Come Back Again, Hi Honey Ho, Eagle Rock) and Mondo Rock (Come Said The Boy, Fugitive Kind, Cool World).
Ross even performed a song he produced by never recorded, 'Ego (Is Not A Dirty Word)' by Skyhooks. He produced the first three Skyhooks albums "or as I like to call them, the ones with the hits," he joked with the crowd.
Set two featured the 'I Come In Peace' showcase with his touring band The Peaceniks, featuring Eric McCusker (Mondo Rock) and Stuart Fraser (Noiseworks).
'I Come In Peace' is released this week through Shock Records.
