For those who would like to hear some excellent acoustic music from this
side of the world, I have updated the selections on our Bluegrass in
Australia web site.

This month I have picked a splendid bluegrass song from Karen Lynne,
nominated for Best New Talent at this January's Tamworth Country Festival
(The largest country music festival in the world  outside the USA) and
featuring some of the best pickers in Australia.   Karen's  I Don't Know
Why is a straight-up-and-down bluegrass song that's been getting a lot of
airplay in Australia, both in the bluegrass world and on country
programmes.

The other track is a Newgrass track from Gerry Hale's Uncle Bill.  They
have released a new album "One Day at Adelphia", which was recorded in a
single day - it's a live studio album and in my opinion, while not strictly
bluegrass, is a killer album and a must-have.  This track, "Get Rhythm" is
my favourite off the album at the moment, although there are plenty of
potential favourites there.

The selections are on the site in realaudio OR mp3.  (MP3 is higher quality
but much larger files, so you can take your choice.

I hope you like these samples of what Aussie performers are putting out
these days.

(More assistance given to independent performers free and with no strings
attached, because I like the music so much, and want to grow the audience
with or without the help of the record labels!)

p.s.  Thanks to the independent bands and labels in the USA who have
trusted me with their material - particularly in recent weeks,  W.C.
Taylor, Broadriver, Grass Cats, Buzz Matheson & Mac martin, Mixt Company,
Dan Knowles & the Hot Band, Banjerdan,    All of these people have
EXCELLENT albums and deserve your support as well as Karen Lynne and Gerry
Hale's Uncle Bill from Australia..
