about

Brought to you by musicians from central Victoria. Tales from long, long ago and tales from our lifetimes. These are stories from many aspects of our shared history:black, white, women, men, the living, the dead, the victims, the free and the imprisoned.

“Mick Coates along with a band of outstanding musicians sings songs about the vast , brown country that is their home and it’s people who they love. In a heartfelt, gloriously packaged album they look with new eyes at traditional themes of love, betrayal, murder, abuse of power and the plight of Australia’s aborigines, the oldest living human culture”.
Gary Adams, actor/musician/writer

"This record is bloody bloody bloody good!!!"
Archer

"I have been listening to folk music since the days of Frank Traynor's Folk and Jazz Club in Melbourne in the mid sixties, and what drew me to this music were the stories and history in the songs.
This album embodies both of these things. The stories in these songs sit against the history and events of this country in a compelling way that few achieve."
Don Williams

"An excellent collection of heartfelt well crafted tracks by Mick and his fellow bandmates."
Barry from Bali
