Jeff Turner - Songs Of Australia

Review by Nick Fromhold

Jeff Turner's album, Songs of Australia, is a delightful collection of traditional and contemporary Australian songs. The album showcases Turner's rich and soulful voice, which is perfectly suited to the genre. The album features songs that celebrate Australia's rich heritage, from the stirring ballad "Waltzing Matilda" to the rousing anthem "Advance Australia Fair."

One of the standout tracks on the album is "The Overlander," a haunting ballad that tells the story of a cattle driver crossing the harsh Australian outback. Turner's rendition of the song is both powerful and poignant, capturing the sense of isolation and hardship that the driver must have felt.

Another highlight of the album is "The Drovers," a rollicking tune that celebrates the rugged and independent spirit of the Australian drover. Turner's lively performance perfectly captures the energy and vitality of the song.

Summary by Nick Fromhold

Songs of Australia is a wonderful tribute to the rich musical heritage of Australia. Jeff Turner's powerful voice and passionate delivery make this album a must-listen for anyone who loves traditional folk music. Highly recommended.
