This review is from: Australia: Our Land Our Music (Audio CD)

The songs on here are a mix of classical "Aussi" songs such as Waltzin Madilta to the more traditional beer drinking songs.

They are easy to sing along with because none of them are fuzzy or too fast. It is a great introduction to Austrailin music. There is the 'lingo' in the songs and some of the typical 'Australian' type instruments that you might think of when you think of Australia.

Overall this is a great fun CD.

I recently returned from Australia and was anxious to remember some of the funny and poignant songs I heard during my stay. This album has them all - from "Pub with No Beer" to "And the Band Played Waltzin' Matilda." The versions are traditional, and easy to sing along with. Be sure to get this CD to play at your next "Aussie Bar-B-Q."

This had some excellent songs. A good mix from pub, to patriotic and humor. Hear the lingo, hear the classics.

I am so glade I bought it.
