Denis Gibbons - Botany Bay (Australian Folk Music)
•May 5, 2013
Throughout the fifties and sixties, one of Australia's leading interpreters of traditional Folk Music was Denis Gibbons.
Denis' fan base was probably largest in Victoria, but, Australia-wide, he gained a reputation as one of Australia's leading...and most authentic...folk singers.
This track is taken from an EP issued in the very early 60's by Melbourne's W&G Records, titled "Bush Songs", cat. # WG-E-1094. The record is very well presented, with an Arthur Boyd painting on the front cover, and good background info for each track on the back.
This upload is from the original EP...and, I have uploaded all four tracks to YouTube.
