  • whens it coming out on dvd would love to get a copy big Chad Morgan fan.

    

  • @scrubbyfan no worries mate, will put notice here when that happens.

  • You know I'm from the USA and the Australian guys that

    sound best to me are those who sing about their own

    culture. Why bother to imitate our country singers (most

    of those guys in Nashville don't sing country. Nashville's

    just another city. Nothing country about it). Give me your

    real Bush singers anytime.

  • They sound a lot better to me than what passes for country coming out of Nashville these days too. I agree.

  • It's a working title, although most of the people I talked to described what they did in the beginning of their careers as "hillbilly music", since that was what is was called back then. As for getting a copy. I'm hoping that I will have it completed by the end of this year. I have many hours of interviews to get through, and I don't want to miss anything, but it will be worth the wait. Check back here in a few months for an update. Thanks for your interest.

  • yep it's going to be a good. nobody has ever seen any of these interviews because they were never shown anywhere. trying to have it out by the end of the year.

  • @theseamen : hello. Could you please contact me via a separate YT message. I'd love to purchase a copy of the DVD. To me .. This is an invaluable part of our cultural heritage. Could you please advse : is it available for sale. If so, how can I purchase a copy. Price is no object. Cheers, CD.

  • watching this clip brings back memories. I organised the first calvacade down Peel St for the '81 Tamworth country music Awards. i personally knew most of these guys and they were true blue. I now live in Texas but I still love Aussie music.

  • interesting

  • Aussie country singers are the best by far. but i mean real country singers.

    Smoky, Buddy, Tex, Chad, Slim and Des morgan to name a few.

  • For me Slim Dusty was the greatest Austrlian country singer. I miss him a lot.

  • @W24YI Between Aussie Country and Texas Country, I rarely listen to modern Nashville anymore shy of Hank III and the outlaws Radio won't play. (Yep, another American here).
