This album is Down Under which is the fourth part of the project of Australian music and another tribute album to Australian Bands and Artists. The first volume is called Sounds of Then...This is Australia, the second volume is True Blue, and the third volume is called Howzat.

There were great Australian Bands and Artists whose music I loved right from my early teens to my late 40s …I have picked songs that have had a connection with me and always wanted to do my own ‘cover versions’…So there are songs across the generations from 1970 to 2016 which covers many bands and artists, so something for everyone...

The title song Down Under (Men at Work) (1980) is an upbeat version, with a touch of country flavour and is a new version from the one I recorded in Feb 2020. So, I hope you enjoy the new version and the video to complement this song is also on my YouTube channel (see below for link).

Cheap Thrills is a song by Australian songwriter and artist Sia in 2016. It is a bouncy "reggae-tinged" dance song and is bound to get you in the dancing mood...

The Little River Band had many hits and Curiosity Killed the Cat (1975) is one of those catchy songs that will get you humming the tune long after you first hear it. I always wanted to record my own cover version and hope it resonates with you as well.

I have also focused on Australian rock artist such as Jimmy Barnes who released Driving Wheels in Jan 1988. It has some great opening riffs and is one of my all-time favourites. So, hope you enjoy my cover version and the video to complement this song is also on my YouTube channel and included in the links below.

Solid Rock was recorded by Australian rock band Goanna and was released in September 1982 as the lead single from the band's debut studio album, Spirit of Place. "Solid Rock" peaked at number 2. 

No Lies is the debut single by Australian rock-pop band Noiseworks. It was released in 1986 as the first single from their first studio album Noiseworks and peaked at number 31. Love their music...so hope you enjoy this one as well...

Other songs included in this Album are Errol by Australian Crawl (1981), Cassandra by Sherbet (1973), Crazy by Icehouse (1987), You Shook Me All Night Long (ACDC) (1986), Ita by (Cold Chisel) (1980), and State of the Heart (Mondo Rock) (1980).

Solo Australian artists include Marcia Hines’ song titled You (Without You) (1977), Marty Rhone Denim and Lace (1975), Lady, What’s Your Name by John Swan, better known as Swanee who is the elder brother of  singer-songwriter Jimmy Barnes. The song was released in 1982.

I have recorded two songs by Australian artist Oliva Newton-John. If Not for You (1971) and Hopelessly Devoted to You (1978). I Love Rock and Roll by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts (1981).

Ted Mulry is an Australian singer, songwriter, bass player and guitarist. I have always loved his music and have recorded several of his songs which are on various albums. Julia (1970) is another hit which is on this album.

Home Among the Gum Trees by Australian artist John Williamson) (1974) is a popular Australian Folk song and I encourage you to singing along to this one.

I had a few ‘Aha’ moments with this album, as I continue to learn and upskill my music mastering techniques. 

I’m sure this selection of songs will bring back memories for some of you, whilst for others, it may bring about a new listening experience of Australian Music.

Enjoy!!!
