To coincide with 2015’s second edition of the Buried Country book through Verse Chorus Press, Warner Music in Australia released a new rebooted version of the Buried Country CD called Buried Country 1.5. It’s called 1.5 because it’s not all-new – if it was it would warrant the ‘2’ suffix – but it is rather a sort of remix, with about half the tracks from the 2000 original now joined by a bunch of stuff that’s come out since 2000.
Hailed on publication as a work that “traces new pathways into the songlines of a hidden and resonant Australian musical history” (The Age), Buried Country has had a substantial cultural impact over the years, and will continue to do so with this new release and new developments in the new year.
Buried Country 1.5 features the key artists from…
