Kelly's lyrics capture the vastness of the culture and landscape of Australia by chronicling life about him for over 30 years. David Fricke from Rolling Stone calls Kelly "one of the finest songwriters I have ever heard, Australian or otherwise." In the 1970s, Australian Folk Rock brought both familiar and less familiar traditional songs, as well as new compositions, to live venues and the airwaves. Notable artists include [[The Bushwackers (band)|the Bushwackers]] and [[Redgum]].

The 1990s brought Australian indigenous folk rock to the world, led by bands including [[Yothu Yindi]]. Australia's long and continuous folk tradition continues strongly to this day, with elements of folk music still present in many contemporary artists including those generally thought of as [[Rock music|Rock]], [[Heavy metal music|Heavy Metal]] and [[Alternative Music]].
