Ross Wilson is an Australian music heavyweight and Country & Wilson is a major addition to an already impressive musical landscape and a songline that begins with Daddy Cool and Mondo Rock then hits its stride in the 21st century with his solo releases, the roots trilogy Go Bongo Go Wild!, Now Listen! The Best Of Ross Wilson, and Country & Wilson.
Country & Wilson demonstrates the pervasive influence of country & folk music that was hinted at in earlier RW classics like Come Back Again & Bed Of Nails. This album goes a long way toward completing the revealing of RW's fundamental musical sources & uses this genre's accent on story-telling & finely honed lyrics to produce some of his most insightful work. Co-produced with Nash Chambers (Kasey Chambers' brother/producer) Country & Wilson reflects Ross's own experiences & beliefs from the humourous '(I Was On) MTV In The 80s', tales of lost love such as 'Nothin's Right Nothin's Wrong', the politics of 'No Soul', to family history 'Under The Waves (And Far Away)'. With backing provided by some of Australia's country scene's finest twangers, on this album you get the best of both kinds of music, Country AND Wilson.

Country & Wilson.... surely there's a mistake here - someone tell me that Aussie Rock legend Ross Wilson hasn't gone Country! It has to be Rock & Wilson or Blues & Wilson as the title for his new release, so someone must have got this tragically wrong! But no.... it's TRUE - the man whose inspired guitar riffs set us rocking to the great Daddy Cool of the 70's and Mondo Rock in the 80's has recorded and released his long anticipated follow up to the highly successful Now Listen! The Best of Ross Wilson and it does draw on his past and present Country influences. It certainly marks something of a contrast for R
