Danny Spooner "Emerging Tradition" CD 2007

Well this one is very accurately sub-titled "(fairly) contemporary Australian songs". It is a marked contrast in every respect to the preceding  "When a man's in love". All very Australian and of known authorship and all of the genre that I think of as "contemporary folk". The tracks include ones penned by Eric Bogle, Bill Scott, Don Henderson, John Dengate and Judy Small. You can also find all the lyrics here on Garry Gillards site.
