Allison Forbes Bonedigger CD

Tamworth’s own rebel child is a breath of fresh air and an outburst of originality in songwriting.

Allison Forbes is a new-age outlaw of country music. Allison expresses warm but edgy vocals thrown onto a classic country pillow with a dash of alternative on the side. Heartfelt, emotive lyrics delivered with attitude and a unique country folk style. Allison has well and truly found her calling.

How ironic that the feature single ‘Broken Radios’ is a catchy country tune about the rubbish music being fed by radio stations and the money-driven industry selling out art. Reminiscent of early Kasey Chambers, Allison is not backing down from singing about what she thinks and feels. It’s a dig at the formulaic way a lot of music comes across as much the same.
