The Pretty Bird Tree - LJ Hill (Official Music Video)

[1mutcho]

LJ Hill eh? Never heard of him until 6 months ago. Just goes to show you don't have to be handsome to be talented. What a great fair dinkum Australian song, a great delivery, something of Johnny Cash about this bloke, though very Australian. Of the 2,000 odd viewings on the site I recon 200 are mine. Jeez, I'd like to take a roadtrip with LJ to real Australia of Broken Hill, Bourke, Namoi & Charters Towers. Outstanding

Great stuff. Some of the melody and feeling reminds me of Springsteen's The River. L J's is even better.

Yes, Macka played it again this morning... It's great to find it here and listen again.

Great song - cross between late Johnny Cash and Jimmy Little - '...then we'd lay next day like poisoned dogs/all around the pretty bird tree'.

Fantastic evocation of an emotional and spiritual world.

Laszlo, LJ, Lindsay & everyone else involved. Beautiful, Simple, Gripping. These lyrics are so moving. adam PS Laszlo, no doubt you picked up on the reference to the 'water rat'!
