Two decades, nine albums, country fame, pop hits, a national top five album and ones that came nowhere near, nine Golden Guitars, an ARIA Award, songs written and recorded in Nashville, New York, Los Angeles, London and Dublin, collaborations with good earth riders and metal muthas, years as a bona-fide Queensland cattleman, the embrace of Vietnam vets, a highly visible Qantas ad, gold and platinum plaques, national recognition, exultation and disillusionment, glowing reviews and occasional indifference, a tour with Kris Kristofferson and a chin wag with Johnny Cash, uncountable shows on the road that goes on forever, wrong turns and right ...... all with his curiosity, intuition, good humour and dogged determination intact. As the Grateful Dead once sang: "What a long strange trip it's been." And what James Blundell wants and what he puts into his music is never going to be ill-considered. He has high expectations of the craft of music-making. "I think it's the last apolitical, non-denominational platform of speech left to free thinkers and, as such, should be treated with absolute respect. It crosses barriers that other communications can't. The meaning will make itself clear to anyone who understands the language in which a song is written." James Blundell performs @ Norwood Live On Thursday 11th December. 
"Jon Cleary is the ninth wonder in the world." - Bonnie Raitt “I haven’t heard anybody close to having absorbed so much funk and so many subtleties of the different genius piano players and guitar players and rhythms of New Orleans.” - Jazziz Magazine 2002 Cleary plays piano as if he's revving up an engine and sings as if a line drawing of his behatted self were next to "soul" in Webster's. - The Washington Post June 15, 2005 -- Pamela Murray Winters
