Australian Country Music by David Latta

Paperback book published by Random House Australia 1991, 208 pages with colour photographs throughout.  ISBN 9780091825812

AUSTRALIAN COUNTRY Music is Set to take its rightful place on the national music scene — the Old and the New have joined forces to ensure that the local sound is heard and respected across the nation, and around the world. AUSTRALIAN COUNTRY MUSIC is a wide ranging survey of the music scene, with profiles of the major figures of the present and the future. They talk about their lives and their work, and the people and the experiences which have shaped their art.  The living legends — Slim Dusty, Smoky Dawson, Reg Lindsay and Jimmy Little. The balladists — John Williamson, Ted Egan and Brian Letton. The great female voices — Anne Kirkpatrick, Jean Stafford and Jeanette James. The songwriters — Allan Caswell, Graeme Connors and Stan Coster. Our overseas success stories (so far) — the LeGarde Twins, James Blundell and Wayne Horsburgh. The rising young stars — Melinda Johnstone, Thnya Walsh and Kathryn Pitt. And the New Country exponents — The Happening Thang, The Danglin’ Bros and Keith Glass. AUSTRALIAN COUNTRY Music looks beyond the concert halls and the pubs to examine the elements which keep the industry operating — festivals, fans, record companies and the media all come under the spotlight. And Peter Brennan’s superb colour photographs combine with the text to make this book a must for every lover of real Australian country music!
