JC Album Of The Week:

My final selection from this week's album is the closing track, Antartica.
Its a beautiful song but also a plea for mankind not to destroy the last great wilderness.

A wonderful song to close this excellent album.

My penultimate selection from Blue Sky Mining is the stunning track One Country.
Led by piano and acoustic guitar this song of national responsibility has a gentle, quiet poignancy where the superb vocal has plenty of scope to be delivered.

Division. Strife. WWII. Great sacrifice leads to victory with horror at the cost. #MidnightOil warn in Forgotten Years (Apr 1990) not to forget. Except, "it aches like tetanus, it reeks of politics." Complacency is part of the cycle.

Forty years ago, after a resolute, successful campaign get their land, traditional owners at Uluru showed incredible generosity by leasing the land to all Australians enabling the creation of Uluru/Kata Tjuṯa National Park. Our shows out there were amongst the most meaningful ever.

Forever incapable of listening to "The Dead Heart" by #MidnightOil - especially the last verse - without thinking of #CitizensUnited. Amazing that this fantastic song was written almost 25 years earlier. Thanks a lot, #SCOTUS!
