As Australian songwriter Audrey Auld tours America, she delights audiences with folk songs from her homeland, and fans have requested that she record some of them. Her new EP BILLABONG SONG is an acoustic collection of folk songs that are an integral part of the fabric of Australian culture, plus one beautiful new track ("Australia") written by Audrey and a poem from 1908. Recorded in Nashville by Mark Moffatt, with Stuie French (lead acoustic guitar) and Camille Te Nahu (harmony).

TRACKLIST:

And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda
Australia (Paint You A Picture)
Pub With No Beer
Camooweal
My Country (poem)

Produced by Audrey Auld

"Waltzing Matilda", Australia's unofficial anthem, is known the world over. Who would have thought a song about a suicidal sheep thief could muster such joy? But bookend this with Eric Bogle's epic "And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda", and there is not a dry eye in the house. “Pub With No Beer”, made famous worldwide by Slim Dusty (aka David Kirkpatrick), proves it’s the country’s Down Under characters that give Australia its unique charm. “Camooweal” is a rare love song written by Slim that draws its title from the name of a small Outback town. “My Country”, a poem by Dorothea Mackellar familiar to many Australians, gives listeners a taste of Audrey’s spoken Australian accent. Audrey declares her own love of her native land with the original song "Australia (Paint You A Picture)".
