dear Troy Casser-Daly
perhaps i'm mistaken, but you are of aboriginal descent, yes? aboriginals being known as the native inhabitants of the country of australia (cuz we're unoriginal about naming our natives), right? then, please, be so kind as to explain me why you sound like a nashville country vocalist? should you not have more of a slim dusty twang? he was your first album purchase (as you stated this evening on Rockwiz).
i don't understand australian musos, whether they be country or no; why portray an american accent when they sing? it sounds utterly ridiculous! i've witnessed many a country singing wannabe (having been to tamworth and random places of musical worth) who have asked for their song in full australian twang, yet, when they open their throats for song, suddenly they sound like Dolly Parton, Shania Twain or Tammy Wynette!
as much as i dislike her as a singer, casey chambers is the only country muso vocalist i've come across who doesn't! she's all australian. i think a lot of the aussie wannabes need to look at her and learn. she's original in her style, and she seems to think that being aussie is NOT a disadvantage. missy higgins is the same! i'm not saying that all australian singers need to suddenly become Slim Dusty clones, but just use the accent you use to talk with. It shits me when the average aussie joe sings a song and suddenly sounds like a Justin Timberlake or Christina Aguilera clone.
please, just be natural!
til next....
