Maybe This Year

What the Reviews said:

"As I listen to the CD, three words that immediately spring to my mind: unpretentious, uncomplicated and honest. A fusion of country and folk, these are songs that come straight from the heart, and are genuinely Australian in outlook and feel; as Australian as “The Streets of Forbes”. My impression is that they come from a kind-hearted battler who has experienced a fair swag of life, but who has found an inner contentment that allows him to look upon the world around with a keen observer’s eye." Mike Raine 2009.
