Rosa interviews country singer Kate Russell - October 6, 2023

“Where the storytelling traditions of country and folk meet the raw energy of 90's rock” 
 Following a successful string of sold-out national dates supporting ARIA award winning country artist, Fanny Lumsden, Mornington Shire alt country outfit, Hazel & The Thief announce their much-anticipated debut release, ‘The Olden Days’, available to stream from August 16th 2024.

‘The Olden Days’ is a nod to childhood nostalgia, when the days were long and carefree and filled with innocence. Lead singer & songwriter Hazel explains, “It’s about remembering those happy-go-lucky moments, when every day felt like an adventure and the world was our oyster. It’s also about cherishing those special childhood memories.” 

‘The Olden Days’ was produced by the star of ABC-TV’s ‘The Recording Studio’ - Matt Fell, a 9 times golden guitar winner and ARIA award winner who also lends his talents on guitar, bass, and keys. Joining them on the track is powerhouse rhythm section Josh Schuberth (drums) and Luke Moller (fiddle)– both seasoned musicians who have played on countless recordings including Felicity Urquhart & Josh Cunningham, Adam Swift, Fanny Lumsden, Troy Cassar-Daley, Dolly Parton, Carrie Underwood, Missy Higgins and Lana Del Rey.

Produced in Matt’s home studio in Tasmania, HAZEL fell in love with the idea of ‘making music surrounded by nature’, venturing to the island state to finally put her lyrics into reality after many years of preparing for the right moment to tell her stories.

Since exploding on to the alt-country scene, HAZEL & The Thief have gone from strength to strength, showcasing their vibrant yet honest songwriting and gaining the attention of influential tastemakers and performing with the likes of Karise Eden, Sunday Lemonade, Weeping Willows, Charm of Finches & Ella Hooper. 
Step into the world of Hazel & The Thief, where the storytelling traditions of country and folk meet the raw energy of 90's rock. Immerse yourself in the haunting melodies, the heartfelt lyrics, and the magnetic presence that define this extraordinary artist. Prepare to be captivated, uplifted, and inspired.
“The Olden Days’ is a taster from the forthcoming HAZEL & The Thief debut EP due for release early 2025. 
“Unleash your inner child, and let the dance floor become your playground once again as we take you on a memorable journey,” says Hazel.

Wolfe Brothers - That Kinda Night (VDJ JD -  Dee Jaye Bux YeeDM Remix)

HAZEL'S version on True Blue by John Williamson. Celebrating 80 years of life. 2025

True Blue (John Williamson)

She’s got dust on her boots and laughter in her soul — how could you not fall for her?
This is a song about falling hard for the kind of girl who doesn’t need to try — a farm girl with heart, grit, and something that just pulls you in.
Falling for a Farm Girl captures the excitement and comfort of real country love — the kind that shows up in gravel roads, tractor rides, and that effortless cowgirl smile.
It’s a country rock anthem full of energy and truth, inspired by real places and even realer people.
With upbeat rhythms and classic storytelling, it blends emotion with movement — you’ll want to hit repeat.
From wheat in her hair to the way she moves, every word reflects what love really feels like out there.
If you’ve ever known someone who changed everything just by being herself — this song is for you.
Jonesy200 delivers a track soaked in country soul and full of connection.

Lyrics
Falling for a Farm Girl
[Verse]
Boots hit the ground dust flies up
Stacking hay bales all around
My heads spinning she's got me wound up
This farm girls charms trying to keep up

[Chorus]
I’m falling for a farm girl hold on tight
She's so amazing sets my soul alight
In her denim and cowgirl shirt she is a pearl
There's no doubt I am falling for a Farm Girl

[Verse 2]
The tractor churns the fields stretch far
Ain't no doubt this farm girls a star
Down the winding gravel road to where she stays
I look at her and her smile lights my day

[Chorus]
I’m falling for a farm girl hold on tight
She's so amazing sets my soul alight
In her denim and cowgirl shirt she is a pearl
There's no doubt I am falling for a Farm Girl

Verse 3
Travelling down a winding gravel road to where she stays
There's no doubt this farm girl has her ways
The way she moves catches my eye
This could be love that's no lie

[Bridge]
There is wheat in her hair and dust on her skin
My heartbeat tells me this is where love begins
Her laughter is like a melody floating in the air
The way she moves without a care

[Chorus]
I’m falling for a farm girl hold on tight
She's so amazing sets my soul alight
In her denim and cowgirl shirt she is a pearl
There's no doubt I am falling for a Farm Girl

Verse 3
Travelling down a winding gravel road to where she stays
There's no doubt this farm girl has her ways
The way she moves catches my eye
This could be love that's no lie

[Bridge]
There is wheat in her hair and dust on her skin
My heartbeat tells me this is where love begins
Her laughter is like a melody floating in the air
The way she moves without a care

[Chorus]
I’m falling for a farm girl hold on tight
She's so amazing sets my soul alight
In her denim and cowgirl shirt she is a pearl
There's no doubt I am falling for a Farm Girl

Falling for a Farm Girl

Falling for a Farm Girl – A Country Rock Song About Real Love in Dust and Denim

She walks in like she owns the place — not loud, not flashy, just real. Every move she makes turns heads, and she knows it.
“She Knows It” is a Country Pop track about the quiet power of a woman who doesn’t need to try — she just has it.
Messy hair, boots, denim shirt — she dances like no one’s watching, but everyone is.
She’s not chasing attention, she’s just being herself… and that’s what makes her unforgettable.
This song captures her mystery, her fire, and that effortless magnetism you can’t fake.
You’ll feel the room shift when she walks through it.
Play it loud if you’ve ever known a woman like this — or wished you were her.
Country Pop with a modern edge — this one’s different.

Lyrics
She Knows It

[Verse 1]
In she walks does she own the place
The way she moves, the guys have that look on their face
Her hairs a mess but who cares
The eyes are on her she can feel the stares

[Verse 2]
She ain’t loud, but she turns heads
When she speaks they forget the rest
Sips her drink like it’s no big deal
Laughs like sunshine, the kind you feel

[Verse 3]
You would swear the lights chase her
When she speaks they forget the rest
Sips her drink like it’s no big deal
Laughs like sunshine, the kind you feel

[Pre-Chorus]
You would swear the lights chase her
And every word just pulls you further

[Chorus]
She knows it, and she just has it
Every move she makes, yeah she owns it (better believe it)
Not tryna impress, it just happens
Everyone's lookin, oooh the passion
But she’s just dancin’, it's her fashion
And oh, she knows it

[Verse 4]
She ain’t givin’ numbers, just smiles
Leaves ‘em guessin’ for miles
But I caught a look that said maybe you
Now I’m stuck tryin’ to play it cool

[Bridge]
You think you’ve seen that kind before
But she’ll rewrite your every score
She’s a quiet storm in boots and denim
If she’s the test, there ain’t no winning

[Chorus]
She knows it, and she just has it
Every move she makes, yeah she owns it (better believe it)
Not tryna impress, it just happens
Everyone's lookin oooh the passion
But she’s just dancin’, it's her fashion
And oh, she knows it
And oh, she knows it
Yeah, she knows it

[Chorus]
She knows it, and she don’t fake it
Every move she makes, yeah she owns it
Not tryna impress, she’s just that fine
Got every guy thinkin’ she could be mine
But she’s just dancin’, eyes closed, soul lit
And oh, she knows it
Yeah, she knows it

[Final Chorus]
Yeah, she knows it
She knows it, and she don’t fake it
Every move she makes, yeah she owns it
Not tryna impress, she’s just that fine
Got every guy thinkin’ she could be mine
But she’s just dancin’, eyes closed, soul lit
And oh, she knows it
Yeah, she knows it

Anyone Can See It

I'm heading your way, I am coming fast.
Been away too long, wasn't going to last.
Driving down the road, wondering why I went.
Visions of you, as I drive along —
There is no doubt, that it's you. I only belong.

(Chorus)
So, you're my baby — anyway you see it.
You're in my arms now, better believe it.
So, you're my baby — no doubt about it.
You're my baby — anyway you see it.

This is a love so true, anyone can see it.
So, I'm your man — never gonna leave it (never again).
Hold me in your arms, put your lips on mine —
So everyone can see it, you're my find.

(Chorus)
So, you're my baby — anyway you see it.
You're in my arms now, better believe it.
So, you're my baby — no doubt about it.
You're my baby — anyway you see it.

Now I am home, we're going dancing —
With you in my arms again, I'll be prancing.
My chin up high, a smile so wide —
So, you're my baby. Anyone can see it.

(Chorus)
So, you're my baby — anyway you see it.
You're in my arms now, better believe it.
So, you're my baby — no doubt about it.
You're my baby — anyway you see it.

Now I am home, we're going dancing —
With you in my arms again, I'll be prancing.
My chin up high, a smile so wide —
So, you're my baby. Anyone can see it.

I love you, you're in my arms — anyone can see it.
No doubt about it — everyone believes it.

Lyrics
I Keep Coming Up Empty

(Ooooh... woooah... yeah)

It seems day to day, I can't find my way
Town to town, alone at night
Or when I take someone home with me, they ain't right
They don't see the man in front of them
It is like my face is a dollar sign, so tired of this
I need to be a man again, come back to earth
(come back to earth...come back to earth)

[Chorus]
I keep coming up empty, no she ain't the one
I keep coming up empty, she is no fun
I keep coming up empty, I want someone to love
I keep coming up empty, most of all I want to be loved
(be loved... mmmm...mmmm)

This life of mine is so much fun during the day, I love it
But come the nights, I don't want to be alone
I need for someone to see pass the bottle and dollar signs
Because beneath it all, I am a man
And yes I have feelings, and I can love, yes I can
(yes I can... yes I can...yeeeah)

[Chorus]
I keep coming up empty, no she ain't the one
I keep coming up empty, she is no fun
I keep coming up empty, I want someone to love
I keep coming up empty, most of all I want to be loved
(I want to be loved...)

[Bridge]
They see the fame, they chase the ride
But not the man I keep inside
I’m more than noise, more than the stage
Just want real love, not just the name
(not just the name... woooah...)

[Chorus]
I keep coming up empty, no she ain't the one
I keep coming up empty, she is no fun
I keep coming up empty, I want someone to love
I keep coming up empty, most of all I want to be loved
(mmmm...mmmm)

Very soon I am going to have to take a break
Go to a small town and buy a house and pretend
Pretend to be someone normal
Maybe this way, I will find that person I am looking for
(looking for...)

[Final Chorus]
I keep coming up empty, no she ain't the one
I keep coming up empty, she is no fun
I keep coming up empty, I want someone to love
I keep coming up empty, most of all I want to be loved
(I deserve love... yeah...)

I deserve love, I need it to happen
This love could be complete if someone knew me
I don't want to say, I keep coming up Empty
(ooooooh... woooah...)
(I keep coming up empty...)
