Wendy Saddington with Jeff St. John & Copperwine ca. 1971. From the Utoobage comments: “I dislike it when people say that she was ‘Australia’s Janis’ or ‘Australia’s Aretha’ – she was Wendy, a one of a kind and no imitation of an imported product.”
Matthew ‘Dutch’ Tilders, dubbed the Godfather of Australian Blues, was born in the Netherlands in 1941. His family moved to Oz in 1955 when he was 14, just in time for the rock and roll era and the resurgence of American blues. Self-taught on guitar, by 1960 he was playing original songs in the local coffee houses.
Lachy Doley channels Jimi Hendrix on his Hammond C3.
All Australian blues for this edition of the Saturday Matinee [h/t Archie]. It’s a mystery to me why these musicians got so little exposure in the US.
Time is getting compressed and the days are speeding past again, at least for me. Have a great weekend – we have some serious porch sitting to do tomorrow.
