MEDIA RELEASE
Golden Guitar Winner Jeff Brown releases new
truck album,
“The Open Road”
|
|
“The Open Road” is a collection of
truck songs from one of Australia’s
most popular bush ballad
singer/songwriters, Jeff Brown.
Jeff has taken 5 tracks from his
previous albums and added 7 new
songs including a new version of
Poverty Liner. Jeff’s goal with this
album is to expose traditional
Australian country ballads to a
broader audience, therefore most
songs on “The Open Road” are a
little more contemporary without
losing that true Australian ballad
feel.
Jeff has co written 3 of the tracks
and included songs from Slim Dusty,
Kelly and Marion Dixon, Ian Quinn,
Keith Jamieson and Les Lawson. Each
song is sung from the heart of a man
who has been involved in the
transport industry for over 14
years.
Co produced with Marc Lea, “The Open
Road” brings out the best in Jeff’s
singing and the talented musicians
that back him on this album
including Lawrie Minson, Ricky
Shipp, Hughie Curtis and Clinton
Ireland.
Jeff kicked off 2008 at the Annual
Tamworth Country Music Festival as a
finalist in the prestigious Golden
Guitar Awards for the 4th time and
his previous album, “Harvest Time
Again” won the Stan Coster Memorial
Bush Ballad Award for “Album of the
Year” at Bungendore Festival in
February.
Jeff wrapped up a 3 week tour of
Tasmania in February and is just
home from a successful 2 week tour
of North Qld. with fellow Bush
Balladeer Dean Perrett and legendary
guitarist, Charley Boyter.
