Frank Yamma - Countryman

Acclaimed indigenous singer/songwriter Frank Yamma is recognised across Australia as a musician of intensity. He writes brutally honest songs of alcohol abuse, cultural degradation, respect for the old law and the importance of country - weaving the raw emotion of life and living it into his songs . Recorded at an isolated run down country house in Taralga near Goulburn, Frank Yamma's long awaited CD Countryman is an album full of great songs of longing, of romance, of immense beauty. Songs of imprisonment, of the deserts great beauty, of the contradictions between Franks life as a respected initiated man and a disrespected outsider in the cities where jail, poverty and discrimination are a part of everyday life.
