Album Notes

"Canada’s DANNY MACK comes from country’s old school – raw and honest. He’s been plying his trade for more than 40 years, performing on the same bill as fellow country artists such as JOHN PRINE, KIERAN KANE and way back to the BYRDS and the SIR DOUGLAS QUINTET. It’s no surprise that on his arrival in Australia he linked up with the like-minded BILL CHAMBERS, who co-produced this album with Mack as well as sharing vocals on BILLY JOE SHAVER’S title track, Ride Me Down Easy. Surprisingly, all the songs are covers, but they’re well chosen. A couple of WILLIE NELSON tunes, two from MERLE HAGGARD, but what’s interesting is Mack picking up some Aussie compositions, including KASEY CHAMBERS Nullarbor Song and an emotive version of JOHN WILLIAMSON’S A Bushman Can’t Survive. Mack’s vocals sound like they’ve done a lot of miles, which only adds extra appeal to this soulful country album."
