Review:
Putumayo Presents: Australia is a compilation of evocative folk, blues,
and world music from the land down under. Through the music of
singer/songwriters like Archie Roach and Men at Work's Colin Hay and the
aboriginal-influenced sounds of Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu and Outback, the
popular record label provides a general overview of the
country's representative native sounds. This diverse collection shows that
there is more to Australia's musical heritage than just the didgeridoo.
