Country Corner

When it comes to “country credentials”, Tom Curtain is the real deal. The Australian singer-songwriter draws. In addition he operates a tourist venture, Katherine Outback Experience. On this new album Curtain sings of his surrounds on the country rock track ‘Why We Live Out Here’, and empathises with people who have lost loved ones on the waltz-timed ‘We’re Gonna Ride’. Bluegrass and humour combine on ‘Ee-yaw’, a song about a pet donkey, but Curtain is back to serious drought-breaking business on ‘When The Rain Comes Down’.
