The titlupe of Greg
Bain's new album says it all Staying True comprises all the elements
that keep alive the traditions of Australian Country Music that the heart of
every true country music devotee.... great stories beautifully told interwoven
with fine musicianship.
Greg has once again teamed up with producer Lindsay Butler to
release and album of solid tracks that relive our history and paint a picture of
this wide brown land. The Man That Shaped The Steel, Kimberley Skies, The
Pony Of The Pit and the self-penned The Sulky are superb.
Queensland Drover takes us back to those wonderful days where hard work took
place in the saddle while No Going Back invokes thoughts of how times
change in small home towns across Australia.
Greg Bain has always had the ability to tell a fine story through his music and
his album is no exception.
Album Review by
Daryl Kirkup
A new CD featuring 12 tracks from Greg Bain with a real easy listening
smooth production sound. There are three old favourites previously recorded
by Slim Dusty, "The Lame Fiddler" , When The Moon Across The Bush
Beams", and
"The Canning Stock Route", Greg does a nice job of both of them and
then there
are two moving are two moving songs in "The Pony Of The Pit" about the
horses pulling the coal ships underground. "The Ballot" which is the story
of an Ex veteran.
I think these two songs are excellent stories. The other seven songs include
Greg's very popular single "Fishin' With Me Dad".
