This album is a collection of songs written over a period of eleven months in two different studios, in two different locations in Australia. The basis of the album began in Clare SA (Greenhaven Mobile Cottage Recordings) and the tracks were edited and remixed in Sydney NSW. The final vocals and mixes were also done in Sydney. The founder members of Nattai, Billy, Trish and Lindsay have continued to collaborate on their musical tracks, even after the live performances ended in the early 90's. Not entirely satisfied with their earlier releases, controlled by engineers and independent studios, Lindsay Askew (Clubdred Studio Sydney NSW) decided to further develop his interest in recording and producing, which has led to many amazing tracks, some of which, have featured on local radio, with a myriad of artists clambering for his input into their creative works. (Lindsay is AKA Lindsay Carlos Santana Askew - brilliant guitarist, not that he would ever admit to it!!!!) Geoff Oaks, a well respected player, fine musician and incredibly funny man has continued to support Nattai's music by adding his amazing sax lines to the never ending list of new songs. Alec Tundervary (DJ Rapt) has had quite a bit of input into this latest release with some great remixes of the original tracks and the odd vocal harmony thrown in for good measure. Digeridoo player, guitarist and singer song writer Scott Harrow lent his amazing talent to the track Diji Man. He is currently on a spiritual journey in Byron Bay. Billy and Trish like to perform live locally for community events and Michael (Trish's husband) bass player extraordinaire supports their 25 year partnership in musical escapades. Originally from Cardiff Wales, Billy started his musical career as a roady with many of the 60's bands touring the UK. He didn't discover he had a talent for singing and harmonica until he partnered with "Ruscoe" in Torquay in the early 80's as the Jack Daniels Duo. Trish joined them shortly after when they became the JD Trio. Trish had been singing in a local Devon folk group called Rumpus, who released "Songs From The South Hams Coastline" and also the trio Aqua Track which featured Lord George Villiers on guitar. Billy and Trish moved to Adelaide Australia in the late 80's and continued their journey with bands named The Light Factory, Karoubra, The Jack Daniels Band, Tigerbay, The Liquidators, The Riot Squad and eventually Nattai. The name Nattai was originally derived from an anagram of their daughter Natasha's name but it soon became known that it was also an aboriginal name meaning water. Billy checked with the local Aboriginal Elders in Sydney that it was okay to use the name and they gave it their blessing. After nearly 3 decades of performing Billy and Trish continue to amuse delight and inspire audiences of all ages and hope to continue till the day they drop! Their earlier releases have been compiled into a double CD collectors album, soon to be released for posterity and although they have not previously been picked up by the major record labels, the band will make use of modern technology to continue to write, record and update their releases in the future. Enjoy this collection of songs for what it is, honest, truthful music which is equally as good live as it is in its recorded state. Thanks for listening. x
