Dumb Country
|
Tjalkuri blends irresistible hooks, socially-conscious lyrics, and arrangements that reflect a
feel for his native Australia. The project veers musically from straight-ahead rockers to
twang-and-dobro flavored numbers to jazz-tinged pieces. "Tjalkuri" is a stunning
introduction to this one-of-a-kind recording artist.
Australian pop/rocker Broughton Mitchell (a/k/a Tjalkuri), lived for time with an
aboriginal tribe. During this time, a member of the tribe named Mitchell died, and
Broughton was asked to take a different name in honor of the deceased. He was given the
name Tjalkuri. His musical adventures have taken him to all parts of the Australian
continent, writing and playing with musicians with a wide variety of backgrounds, from
western-influenced pop/rockers to traditional native musicians with aboriginal and other
indigenous influences. These different flavors are all captured in his songs and
performances.
