Elastic (2023) – Chief Springs
‘The Time to Take Time, to Take Time’ Elastic by Chief Springs was recently released on Jeff’s Eclectic Music Lover blog. What stood out for me first-listen was the singer’s striking voice and I asked Jeff who it was. He…
Munjana (1990) – Archie Roach
Australian Aboriginal singer Archie Roach has appeared here before with his song about the homeless called Down City Streets. I have written about him also in conjunction with other Australian music – artists David Bridie and Paul Kelly. If there…
