    Great job of combining American country  with Celtic & Cajun influences without losing Australian soul.

TALLOWOOD
Folkin' the Coast - Since 1979

New Album - "A Durable Species"

Yes, it has been 30 years since Tallowood first appeared at the Ulong RSL Club in 1979. The band back then comprised of 3 guitarists, a tea-chest bass and lagerphone and by all reports "was well received". Since then it has been a 30 year party.

In 1982, Tallowood were runners up in the Open Band section of the Tamworth Country Music Awards and invited to play at the National Folk Festival at Sydney University. In 1983, they represented Australian music at Carnivale in Sydney and in 1984 dominated the Australian Bush Music Championships with a total of 5 awards.

In 1985, they released their first album, Origins and Lemons, and played at the Tamworth Country Music Festival for the Australia Day celebrations before a crowd estimated at 15,000.

In 1986, they were offered a cameo role in the film, “The Winds of Jarrah”, were runners up at the Battle of the Bush Bands at the Tamworth Country Music Festival and released their first single, No 97 to the Snack Bar Please which was recorded locally at Sapphire Studios.

AND NOW ....we have just released album number 5, "A DURABLE SPECIES", and we think it's pretty damn good!

Sounds Like:



Ned's shotgun echoing through his armour.

The dog's whine as he scratches fleas on the tuckerbox.

The crisp scraping steel blades of Jackie Howes shears.

A spark as a shoe from Thunderbolts horse strikes a New England boulder.

Air expelled from a convicts lungs as the lash cuts deep into his raw back.

The mighty roar of the grandstand as Bradman puts the Poms over the fence yet again.

The raising of glasses between long parted mates.

The crunch of a jaw under Les Darcy's glove.

Long dry wind howling through through the Diamantina.

A country hall full of inebriated Aussie folk all trying to bushdance.

......with a small touch of the Irish for old times sake.
