True Blue Book

Since "Old Man Emu" became an instant No. 1 hit 25 years ago, the sounds of John Williamson have become synonymous with Australia. In this large format, full colour book, the "Aussie Balladeer" takes us on a tour of the Australia he knows and loves.

His greatest songs come alive as he tells the stories of the people and places that inspired them and what it means to be true blue.

"John Williamson has the soil of the nation under his fingernails. In the tradition of Banjo Patterson and Henry Lawson he writes and sings of the universals that scar and bind us ... in an unrepentant Australian voice." .. Bob Ellis
