Gary Shearston, Australian songwriter

Gary Shearston, Australian Songwriter

RENEGADE

Here are marvellous songs about Shearston's trouble-laden career, his deep affection for the artist Martin Sharp and the great writer and folklorist Edgar Waters, all sung with Shearston's distinctive flat delivery and saturated with Australian imagery.
One of the songs - She's a Classic - is an inspired compilation of all the effusive hyperbole Aussie males use for objects of their admiration and desire - be it a ute or a member of the opposite sex.
Shearston is a genuinely great songwriter... a national treasure.
- Bruce Elder (Sydney Morning Herald 5/2/11)

THE BEST OF ALL TRADES
Songs from the heart of one of Australia's most honest observers of the human spirit... this 2-CD set brings together Gary's most recent songwriting (and a couple of older songs revisited) with a skilfully pared-down sound featuring the evocative and sympathetic guitar work of David Hume: "gives the songs an engaging intimacy, reminiscent of his early recordings, as well as a fresh energy..." (Jim Low/Simply Australia). (2009).

Gary Shearston, Australian singer and songwriter, was a leading figure of the folk music revival of the 1960s, especially remembered for his authentic versions of old 'bush' songs (folk songs). Gary achieved international success as a songwriter (e.g. Sometime Lovin' performed by Peter, Paul and Mary) and as a recording artist (his distinctive version of Cole Porter's I Get A Kick Out Of You was a hit in 1974).

Over the years his music has absorbed and adapted a diverse range of elements including Australian aboriginal and West Indian reggae (before either was popular with mainstream western audiences). In 1990 Gary Shearston was recognised in Australian country music with the Tamworth Songwriters' Association's award for Bush Ballad of the Year.

Discerning listeners will know that much of Gary's songwriting has reflected a 'spiritual' thread running through his life and most recently he has been a minister of religion in rural Australia. He still writes, sings and records wonderfully evocative and distinctively Australian original songs. Gary's songs from 1964 to today are available on CD and reissued 'archive CD' (CD-R).
