Straight out of the Mareeba Delta in steamy Far North Queensland, a young cowboy strides out of the banana plantations with a shiny National guitar slung over his back. Heading down the long lonesome highway to the Big Smoke of Brisbane, he sings about love, loss, rebellion, and ultimate acceptance. ‘Behind the 8 Ball’ is the CD that captures this journey. It’s a real-deal hot slide guitar adventure -- foot-stompin’ good times that rattle the roof and really get you going. If you like your music raw, blues-flavoured and gutsy, crank this one up!
