Customer Reviews:

Visitor to Australia.......2006-04-12

I was exposed to John Williamson when my sister came back from Australia 13 years ago. When my wife and children and I visited for a month a couple of years later, we picked up a few John WIlliamson tapes and played them as we drove from North to South. His songs, became our songs and we returned home knowing most by heart. Up to recently, we have had to buy his cd's by shopping via the net in Australia. It is great to see Williamson's titles available at Amazon.

Anthems CD.......2005-10-22

I just got this CD for my birthday...and Amazon.com was the only place to purchase it!!! I went on an EF Tours trip to Australia in June and was introduced to a song that our bus driver, Matt, played over the speakers....it soon became our favorite request. The song was "True Blue". Soon after our trip began, our trip coordinator, Byril, taught us fun motions to a song that became our theme song "Home Among the Gum Trees". The clincher was the unashamed emotion brought on by "Waltzing Matilda (With 100,000 Voices)" and the pride even we non-Australians felt when that song was played. There is no question that memories of my fabulous Australia trip has a soundtrack with the songs of John Williamson.

forget about australia verses america. This album is just good value. John Williamson is a credit to australia an icon to those who would be fair dinkum (honest & true) & the son that every parent would wish for.
If I had to repay every positve thought, or feeling that John's words & music have gifted to me, I would have no time to do anything else in my life.
The chance to see him live should not be missed & more importantly, the chance to instill, values that he & his songs give to us, should never be forgoten or unused.
To John Williamson,
If you ever read this, I would like you to know, that I am a succesfull & highly regarded tradesman in the mostly working class city of Newcastle. My reason for expressing my views is because you are 'Fair Dinkum' as I hope I am, & I think if my father was still alive he would say the same.
thankyou for your music, your lyrics, your heart & your soul.
yours fraternally
sam.

I was first exposed to John Williamson's music 12 years ago now and had worn out all of my tapes. It was good to see a CD available again that had some of the old titles I remembered (True Blue, Galleries of Pink Gallahs,...). A very nice CD for those who want to re-visit Australia through some wonderful musical pictures. He sings like an Australia proud of his country and the land in which he lives. To get a feel for that country, beyond what most tourist will ever see listen to this CD.
