Sultan of O-man, that was good said

Nice songs, Dan and Alexander...

I have to say, I think Dan Sultan, as much as he can truly rock when necessary, is shaping up to be a worthy successor in later years to the Jimmy Little/Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu tradition.

And he has a nice line in understated country riffs, a good guitar player, not just a background 'strummer'.

Thanks 'Untidy Desk', another worthy addition to the series... btw, nice background mess around the mid 3-minute mark in the first song, good to see :-)

Sultan - glad you've noticed our extra background mess efforts - it wasn't easy, but it's clearly paying off...

Is that all done on just the one microphone?? Sounds a bit like it..

Just one more mic would have made a huge difference. Raw can be good , but vocalist camera right was left out a bit on "I shall be released"

Is the fact you are streaming it an issue?
