5.0 out of 5 stars A great mixture of aussie folk songs and sing-a-longs, November 3, 1999

By	H. Alma (The Netherlands) - See all my reviews

Some of the songs may need a little getting used to, but on average most songs are pretty catchy, and best of all , they stay catchy even after listening quite a few times. I particularly like "iko iko" "Waltzing Mathilda" "the court of king Caractacus" "Stairway to heaven" and "Tie my kangaroo down sport" The "hickey" version of that song "Tie my hunting dog down Jed" is very good too.

It isn't dance music. But it sure is good to listen to, and it does have swing.

mm.. maybe I'm just not the dancing type.

4.0 out of 5 stars Love Rolf Harris!, April 12, 2000

By	L. Holle (TX United States) - See all my reviews

I have been looking for Rolf Harris for years. I have two of the original albums from the 60's that belonged to my father. Wonderful listening. My kids know and love all the songs now, too. It would be a 5 star rating if they hadn't cut off the introduction to Botany Bay. Will there ever be a re-issue of his original albums I would like to have them on CD? (as I'm concerned about playing the albums anymore.)

4.0 out of 5 stars A Solid Rolf Harris Collection, January 17, 2001

By	Brian Blitz - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

To me, "Tie Me Kangeroo Down Sport" evokes memories of a jukebox in my favorite college bar. Though the version on this CD is not the one from the original 45 -- the derrogatory language directed at Aboroginies was replaced and a new verse substituted in -- it is still an excellend collection.

This CD shows the versitility of Harris, his works ranging from folksy to humorous (the cover of "Stairway to Heaven"). But a warning -- once you start listening to this CD, its hard to get some of the tunes out of your head.
