Smoky DAWSON – Sings and Tells of Bushrangers, The Outback and Famous Country Songs

With a career that ran over eight decades, Smoky Dawson was a multi-award winning singer and songwriter renowned to millions of Australians as 'Australia's Most Beloved Cowboy'.

Here Jasmine has compiled his two very rare vinyl albums, 'Bushranger Ballads' & 'The Smoky Dawson Story' and on both Smoky introduces every song personally.

Loved in the USA as 'The Australian Cowboy', the second LP on this set refers to his experiences on his American tour and features the dazzling steel guitar playing of the legendary Speedy West.

All the material on this set is freshly remastered from original discs and the booklet features comprehensive notes from writer and DJ, Paul Hazell.
