NEW in
2008!
Ross
Wilson
"Like making any new record,
at first it was a bit of a struggle. It's a puzzle.
You've got to figure out the pieces. Then it starts
falling into place."
Actually, Ross Wilson's back
catalogue is like one of those 10,000-piece double-sided
puzzles with no straight edges. Tributary, his first
acoustic album for Australia's premier legacy label,
Liberation Blue, could have been put together a hundred
different ways. But it was always going to blow your
mind.
"The first thing I had to
work out was how to make it interesting to me," says the
voice of Daddy Cool, Mondo Rock and a maze of other
musical ventures. "I didn’t wanna pick up an acoustic
guitar and play the songs the same but softer. Like, you
can't beat the original Eagle Rock. You've got to take
it somewhere completely different."

A good song is
science, more or
less: It becomes a great one somewhere in the grey area between
thought and expression.
Now, expression
takes command as new
dimensions are added to songs
that even their creators thought were
done and dusted.
Many of them
never sounded so good.
And all of them
resonate with a clarity that only years of reflection,
refinement
and
commitment can provide.
