With the meticulous production of LBS Music’s LINDSAY BUTLER to colour Pete’s fine songwriting skills along with a smattering of outstanding classic bush tales, the album is a Bush Ballad country fan’s dream. Opening – and title – track Western Star is a first-rate trucker’s track, but the call of the beckoning star will also find empathy with travellers from gypsies to grey nomads. My Old Outback Home calls the traveller back home. Pete brings the unique characters of the outback alive with Dusty Old Time Ringer; an excellently crafted classic style ballad with a yodel. Where The Thompson River Flows is another excellent track with the distinctive time-honoured flavour that is our country heritage. Pete Smith is what is the best of what makes our traditional Australian country music unique."<br /> LBSCD121 Deborah Minter.<br /><br />“Where The Thomson River Flows”written by Pete Smith and Lana Ross has just received a Top Five Nomination for Bush Ballad for The NT Songwriting Awards<br />The Top Five for this Genre are listed below congratulations to all finalists<br /><br />BUSH BALLAD<br /><br /><br />1.

My Mum grew up with Slim and Shorty and has many a story to tell about there childhood days in Nulla and their records were played constantly in our home.<br /><br />I guess this is where it all started for me, as a young lad I can still remember the afternoons we would all sing up a real Country Storm around the piano .I bought my first guitar at the age of fifteen and learnt to pick strum with a country run. I then started to learn how to yodel and in no time at all I was yodeling up a an Old Buddy Williams Song<br /><br />I started entering Country Festivals around Queensland where I was taking many awards for Yodelling and Bush Ballad songs. This led me to put pen to paper and I wrote “Nulla Nulla Winds”, the song about my home in Nulla Nulla Creek in the winter time. I then wrote “All About the Bushland” about the largest Cedar Tree the world had ever seen, which my Great Great Grandfather found and felled in the 1800’s. My other original songs include “A Dusty Old Time Ringer”, “Jacko’s Last Ride”, “Knocking Country”, “A Rough Tough Bush Man”, “Call of Mt Lindesay”, “Mitchell He Could”, “Bangtail Muster”, “Just Think Back” and “Shadow of Mt Lindesay”.<br /><br />1994 - Appeared on Bert Newton’s New Faces<br />1995 - Guest Artist at Club Hotel, Waterford for Stan and Tracy Coster Show<br /> - Guest Artist with Slim Newton<br />1996 - Johnny Greenwood, John McSweeney, Ron Peters<br />1997 - Finalist in the “Champion of Champions” for four years running<br />1998, ’99, 2000 and 2001<br /> - Performed on the Beer and Ballads Shows with Brian Howard at Tamworth<br />2000 - Appearing at Rex Dallas Yodelling and Bush Ballads Show Tamworth<br />2002 - Appeared on Brian Howard’s Heritage Show and Beer and Ballads Show<br /> - Grand Finalist in the Bush Balladeer Star Quest Tamworth<br /> - Grand Finalist in the Drover Music Talent Search<br /> - Released a new album with Opal Records “Old Boko &amp; Me” which has 12<br />Tracks two Duet Tracks with the late, great Stan Coster<br /><br />2003 Had me performing in the Northern Rivers of NSW at Mullumbimby, Yamba, Grafton, Kempsey, Gladstone, Bell-Brook and Tamworth areas for the year.<br /><br />2004 Saw me working through Southeast Queensland (Rathdowny, Beaudesert, Dalring Downs) and North Queensland (Maryborough, Gin Gin, Theodore, Rockhampton, Charters Towers, Carmila). In late November Pete was back in the Studio at Regency Sound with Marc Lea to produce a great 12 track album with 5 of his own original songs including the title track “Call of Mt Lindesay”.<br /><br />2005 Was a great start to the year at Tamworth where the new album, “Call of Mt Lindesay” was released, which was received very well and there was plenty of air play on FM and Community Stations. <br /><br />2006 I was a Grand Finalist at the TIARA Awards, TSA and Tasmanian Music Awards. With The Shadow of Mt Lindsay, A Mothers Prayer and The Call Of Mount Lindsay He has since been touring North Western Queensland with recent performances at the Widgee Balladeers Muster.<br /><br />2008 Saw the release of my Album “Hillbilly Style” including eight originals something I am very proud of<br />Finalist Gidgee Coal Awards Comedy Song “Oh What A Nation”<br /><br />2009 Finalist for Tamworths TSA Childrens Song of the Year Song of the Year “Hootin Tootin Cowboy”<br />Finalist Katherine Music Festival Contempary Song of the Year “Revenue Dodger”<br /><br />That’s about it for me at the moment I will keep updating this page as time goes on hope you enjoyed the read<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3663775984013966300-3366815948263019379?l=petesmithshowman.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Pete Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08884073044560917711noreply@blogger.com
