It may not be as popular as pop music, rock music or the other new styles of music, but it still has a strong following. The best known Australian country singer is undoubtedly Slim Dusty. His work is probably the best example of the unique style of Australian country music. In this podcast I would like to tell you a little about Slim and his remarkable career as a singer, songwriter and performer, which lasted more than 60 years. Slim Dusty next to the Big Guitar in Tamworth.

He was the first musical artist anywhere in the world to record 100 albums, followed by Cliff Richard. By 2007, sales of Slim Dusty’s albums in Australia had reached 7 million. His most famous song was called ‘A Pub with No Beer’ which he recorded in 1957.

James Blundell
JAMES BLUNDELL There are many terms people use when describing James Blundell. Icon. Legend. Controversial. Rebel. The truth is - James Blundell is all of these things. He is unashamedly honest and comfortable in his own skin. He radiates an enthusiasm for everything that life has to offer and it’s this authenticity that makes him one of the most instantly likable and recognisable artists in Australian music. Acknowledged by many as the act that single-handedly shaped modern Australian country music by infusing his influences of John Mellencamp, The Band and The Angels with the storytelling ethos of Slim Dusty and his lyrical insight, sharp wit and empathy for the average working man. This combined with his handsome good looks and country charm ensured there was no stopping his success across all demographics. In 1992, James found mainstream success thanks to the smash hit single, “Way Out West”, with former Australian Crawl front man, James Reyne. The song debuted at #28 on the ARIA charts before peaking at #2 a month later. The song was ranked #22 on the ARIA End of Year Singles Charts while his platinum selling album, “This Road”, came in at #28 on the ARIA End of Year Albums Charts above acts including Madonna, AC/DC and Roxette. James was the first young Australian country act to sign a major record label deal in Nashville, which has since paved the way for the likes of Keith Urban, Catherine Britt and Kasey Chambers. In addition to his own success he has penned hits for Lee Kernaghan, Slim Dusty and Jimmy Little.

Class Details Introduction to Australian Society: Reconciling Australia Thursdays 11:00-12:30 Room 304 NYU Sydney Academic Centre Science House, 157 Gloucester St, The Rocks. Prerequisites None Class Australia is a place of tensions: the ‘lucky country’ founded on the theft of Indigenous people’s l and; Description the ‘land of the fair go’ with mandatory detention of refugees; a place with a noticeably sentimental culture coupled with a satirical sense of humour; a multicultural nation with a history of a ‘white Australia policy’; a place proud of its traditions of egalitarianism and mateship with rules about who is allowed in ‘the club’; a place with a strong sense of a distinctive local traditions which takes many of its cues from global culture; a place with a history of anti-British and anti-American sentiment that also has had strong political allegiances and military pacts with Britain and the USA; a place of a laid-back, easy going attitude with a large degree of Governmental control of individual liberties; a highly urbanised population that romances ‘the bush’ and ‘the outback’ as embodying ‘real’ Australia; and a place with a history of progressive social policy and a democratic tradition, which has never undergone a revolution. Through readings, discussion and research we will attempt to reconcile these contradictions. This course will focus on the way in which culture – i.e. music, journalism, history, literature, comedy, cinema, food and sport – has reflected and created these tensions.

Whiter Rock: Why the Easybeats Didn't Suceed In
Oz Rock and the ballad tradition in Australian popular music ‘While we are sitting here, singing folksongs, in our folksong clubs, the folk are somewhere else, singing something different.’ Quoted in Jeff Corfield ‘The Australian Style’1 Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs, and the Twilights, discussed in chapter one, were manifestations of an Australian popular music sensibility which was fundamentally European-derived, white. It was a tradition that valued melody, musical linearity and lyrical clarity. These bands, in particular Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs, and the Easybeats, laid the basis for the flowering of Australian rock in the 1970s and for Oz Rock groups such as Rose Tattoo, the Angels, Midnight Oil, Cold Chisel, Australian Crawl, and, in the 2000s, You Am I and Powderfinger among others.2 This tradition has continued to blend melody with strong guitar riffs and a big beat. Billy Thorpe’s self-penned ‘Most People I Know (Think That I’m Crazy)’, released in 1972, with its melody, driving beat and anthemic chorus combined with an emphasis on the lyrics, provided a template for Australian rock, for a tradition of bands—those Oz Rock bands that I mentioned above—whose success in Australia has, in the main, continued to be far greater than what they have achieved overseas.3 This tradition continues to privilege elements drawn from the white, European musical tradition over influences from African-American, and other Black musics. This hard rock development in Australia has another strand, the importance of the traditional ballad tradition and, along with this, the influence of American country music.
