Description
It’s always a happy day when there is new album from one of our all time favourite singer-songwriters…Mick Thomas ! Ably supported by his current outfit Mick Thomas’ Roving Commission , the new album takes him right back to his roots. It’s a beautiful rumination on the nexus between memory and the passing of time, and how you can never go back – no matter how much some people seem hell-bent on revisiting their past. Musically the Roving Commission – who also feature two other WPA alumni as well as members of The Waifs and the backing bands of Aussie luminaries such as Archie Roach, Tex Perkins and David Bridie – ply a distinctive blend of melodic folk-rock that embraces restraint and sophistication in the studio, but definitely know how to bring the party vibes in the live realms with their rollicking stage show. The album contains co-writes with Oz rock figures such as country icon Sara Storer and members of Indigenous folk outfit Tiddas, including some of the most poignant songs ever penned by Thomas.
Few artists seem to genuinely improve with the passing of time but on Where Only Memory Can Find You Mick Thomas is going from strength-to-strength, consolidating his already entrenched reputation as an iconic Australian artist.
