her next album, "out of fashion... not out of style" (1981) included another single, "i'll be gone" – a cover version of spectrum's 1971 number-one hit. the album was co-produced by roadknight with warren barnett. her backing group were judy bailey on keyboards; bob hudson on harmonica; sandy kogan on jew's harp and washboard; graham lowndes on vocals and acoustic guitar; ellen mcillwaine on vocals, slide guitar and organ; steve murphy on guitar; chris qua on bass guitar and willie qua on drums. garry raffaele, another "the canberra times" reporter, saw her at a sydney show where "she moves from traditional blues to traditional australian to miles davis, then to "evita". such eclecticism is admirable for its intent... [she] almost carries it off... her strength is in the blues – ma rainey stuff; this is what she docs best. she is not evita nor is she elkie brookes."
