Australia Plays America
from Australian Music Archives · host rock61
Under the banner of Australian Music Archives, the first episode of Theme Time; Australia Plays America. This episode takes the form of a DJ set in deference to my ailing voice; maximum music and minimal talk. In this episode, we explore the Americanisation of Australian Music, post WWII. We'll hear artists as diverse as The Purple Hearts and Bruce Woodley. We'll hear music that references American cities, states and even the Civil War! The series is titled "It's Theme Time" and is genre agnostic: Expect some big swings across the musical pendulum!
