John Williamson is one of Australia's greatest musicians. His 48th album, The Big Red, continues to showcase his ability to capture the land, characters and spirit in song.
To produce this album, John signed with Warner Music Australia. John said, “The Big Red is my first all original release in almost four years and I’m pleased that songs from the new album have pushed out other material from my show. For instance, [new track] Prairie Hotel Parachilna is the kind of song I know Aussies want to hear.”
On his website, John revealed that this album is “called The Big Red after a song I've had tucked away for yonks.”
John is known globally as 'Australia's True Blue Balladeer.' An ARIA Hall Of Fame member, he has sold more than four million albums in Australia alone. He has won three ARIA Awards, four APRA Awards and a staggering 24 Golden Guitar Awards, with plenty more to come!
