I think Neil would be pleased with the Woody Guthrie comparison. Like Woody, Neil's songs are often concerned with social injustices. But he's not quiet as 'folk' as Woodie. While his solo performances are largely acoustic, his studio recordings do involve a full band, and at times, his songs can take on a more traditional 'rock' feel. The mark of good song writing is when a song can be striped right back and it still sounds just as good as with a full band. If you want to learn a little more about Australia, both its history and the contemporary issues facing it, you can't go past listening to Neil Murray. Thanks for commenting.
