    I remember the first time, as an American, that I found out that country music was huge in Australia. That was a mindfuck moment.

        Yeah, buy Dolly is in a class of her own. It was when I found out that Australia had their own country music stars who were writing and performing original songs, even songs about Australia, but in an American country music way, maybe even with the twang. Mind blown.

        Yeah, nah, Tamworth. We have our own branches of country music down here mate.

        Blak Country is a seriously cool branch to explore if you’re curious about how Australia has interpreted US country music into a localised sub-genre. Swap your mouth organs for a gum leaf and add some yidaki riffs for extra bass.
