| R.A.T.! Random Aussie Tune! This is part of my ongoing attempt to make Australia seem like a country not just populated by wildlife out to kill you (even though it is) and always on fire or under water (only half the time, to be honest) by posting songs I like by Aussie (not Kiwi) artists. Yesterday I talked about Eurogliders. Now here's lead singer Grace Knight gone solo. She hit every genre you can think of (pop, dance, rock, edm, etc) but here she does jazz and does it well. I have seen her live at least three times, including at the local Caberet Festival, and she always delivers. Seen live? Yes. Overseas success? No. 'Fever' by Grace Knight (1991) |
| Gorgeous, smooth voice. Thanks for sharing! |

I cannot believe I have not done this band yet! Eurogliders released one of my favourite Aussie albums - Absolutely - and this song from that collection is one I go back to all the time, even now, more than 40 years later. They were not together for long, but have had some comebacks in the 21st century. Lead singer Grace Knight went on to have one of the most varied solo careers of anyone. But this song is just superb, from a frankly brilliant and underrated album. Seen live? Yes. Overseas success? No. 'We Will Together' by Eurogliders (1985) |
Only 10 days left...

While I am on the subject of Jimmy Barnes, one more... As a young man, Barnesy had a relationship with a woman which resulted in a child. This child did not have Barnes' last name, and did not really know him as he grew up. And yet, the kid ended up a musician. A cabaret and stage musician. But he reconnected with his father - the have recorded together - and he hit pop-rock. He even played Johnny O'Keefe in a wonderful stage show. The fruit certainly does not fall far from the tree. Seen live? Yes. Overseas success? No. 'Hope' by David Campbell (2003) |

This is part of my ongoing attempt to make Australia seem like a country not just populated by wildlife out to kill you (even though it is) and always on fire or under water (only half the time, to be honest) by posting songs I like by Aussie (not Kiwi) artists. I have mentioned Jimmy Barnes three times. Once as a solo artist, once as lead singer of Cold Chisel, and once as a featured artist where he did a scream solo. Well... here's his brother! Swanee (John Swan) is an artist I enjoy so much. I was even in the audience at the Bridgeway Hotel when he recorded his seminal live album. He fronted The Party Boys and had a string of solo songs. This is my favourite. Unbder-rated, even here in Australia. Seen live? Yes. Overseas success? No. 'Temporary Heartache' by Swanee (1982) |
