DROVIN' ALL OVER
BOB EASTER, MELISSA BAJRIC & GRAHAM RODGER
Drover Music is a collective of dedicated bush balladeers who consistently produce high quality traditional Australian country music. This newest CD, produced by the renowned Lindsay Butler Studios is an easy and effortless mélange of the three performers, either as solo or in duet.
The songs, written, for the most part, by the artists, are fine traditional ballads, tales of love, family and Aussie culture.
I was taken with the opening track, GRAHAM RODGER’s Missing In Action, a tale about the forgotten side of the Anzac Day march.
MELISSA BAJRIC has a light sweet vibrato that compliments the veteran voices of her label-mates. In combination with BOB EASTER, the comparisons with the team of SLIM DUSTY and ANNE KIRKPATRICK cannot be avoided, and is highlighted in the duets, Like Family To Me and the classic, The Kingdom I Call Home.
This album should sit well beside your Slim Dusty collection.
