There was a time when country music ruled the Australian capital city radio airwaves. This was the 1940s and early 1950s when we didn't feel as 'musically pigeon-holed' as today. There was also a lot of 'light classical' music available but it was 'country and western', for that's what it was called, that you heard when you tuned into the more popular stations. Much of the music was used for station breaks, interludes and to back spoken commercials. It had a 'western' sound familiar to anyone who had seen a Hollywood western film for this is where 'country and western' got its name. Down The Overlander's Trail The Early Days of Country Music In Australia features 38 tracks highlighting this significant time in Australian music history with artists such as Tex Morton, Reg Lindsay, June Holms, Johnny Ashcroft, Slim Dusty and many more.
