What Are You Listening To?

[CRAZY-HORSE]

WEDDINGS,PARTIES,ANYTHING "trophy night:the best of" cd,1998.

Aussie folk-rock group primarily from the late 80s and early to mid 90s...
this cd has been compiled chronologically from their debut single through to their final hurrah....
this is how i like to hear best of sets, so i can hear their progression through the years.
made a lot of very good sinlges back in the day but sadly never recieved the chart success they deserved, their highest charting single here was 'fathers day' which peaked at #35, also released seven or eight albums only cracking the top thirty on one occasion.
read somewhere recently that they were way more populat in Canada( i guess the same could be said for Hunters & collectors also)....
strange how that works isnt it.
anyways, these guys started off reall folky on their first few songs then gradually became more of a folk-rock outfit as the years went on, only to go back to their origins as the nails were driven in the coffin, as you can see, im not a fan of their more folky material, but when they combined elements of rock/pop and folke they were brilliant IMO.
first saw these guys live back in 87-88ish when they were support act for a then folky/protest Billy Bragg(before he went all Judas on us and went fully electric with a band!), remind you of anyone else????
sorry for the lack of links here..they had a lot of poor quality fan made live videos, but not good enough to put up here...but at least they had my favourite track available!!!
