It'd be such a cliche to harp on about another unrecognised songwriting talent, so I'll just say that Bernard Fanning solo album was sorely overlooked in every country but his own.

According to Powderfinger's bio, they are the most successful Australian rock band in the past decade. A big statement indeed, and I still have to admit that I don't have even one of their records. I guess maybe I was just never quite turned on? Just recently, however, a friend of mine (he lived in Australia for a while) turned me on to Bernard Fanning. Maybe it's the more low-key nature of...
for the first three days that I had the new Bernard Fanning album, I basically devoured it. I listened to it 6 times in the first 24 hour period (including 8 hours of sleep and 8 hours of work). it completes me.I wanted this cd because (a) Bernard Fanning is the lead singer of Powderfinger, who I love and (b) it is on Lost Highway Records.now it's like neither of those facts matter because it...

but I feel as though I should post something before I head out to my town's own little Woodstock, we call it Comfest. You know, just in case I get ran over by a pack of hippies or in case I choke on some sort of fried food on a stick...i would hate myself if I didn't leave you all with one last great song!So here is one of of Bernard Fanning's 'Tea and Sympathy'....great song, great record.
I visited myspace today and Bernard Fanning had not long put this vid up, Hes one of my Fav Aussie artists and Kasey Chambers is there to boot, not sure who the other Lady is but no doubt another musical luminary, ..........................truth is Mozilla wont let me copy and paste and Im helpless to change that due to a lack of puter skills, give me a welder or a shovel or even bee smoker and...
