A Sunburnt Country

60s, 70s, Nostalgia, Songs

This week we dip into more great Australian music. Two songs with two strong lead singers are King Harvest‘s Wichita Lineman/By The Time I Get To Phoenix with the wonderful voice of Leo De Castro upfront and Flake‘s This Wheel’s On Fire with the amazing voice of Sharon Sims as the lead. We also pay tribute to the wonderful Judith Durham with The Seekers much loved The Carnival Is Over. The still popular Skyhooks feature one of their big hits Horror Movie while ex-pat Helen Reddy chimes in with (Leave Me Alone) Ruby Red Dress. Other tracks include John Paul Young‘s Yesterday’s Hero and handsome Merv Benton‘s Yield Not To Temptation.
