Behind the Lines [1] is the second album by John Schumann and the Vagabond Crew. Released in 2008, it was re-released in 2011. [2]
It consists almost entirely of cover songs and musical renditions of poems. The album includes covers of artists and groups such as Eric Bogle, Judy Small, Cold Chisel, as well as a number of songs previously released by Schumann, either as a solo artist or during his time with Redgum.
The central theme of the album is Australians at war, [3] although it also includes the iconic Australian song Waltzing Matilda, and "To An Old Mate", a Henry Lawson poem not specifically about war, which was also included on the Lawson album.
The cover art shows a picture of an Australian First World War era soldier in a barracks, reading a book or a letter.
