New video of "Tom Wills Would" released! - Play the Video Now

The aim of this release is to present some kind of summary of my solo career to date, with a few suprises on the bonus 'live and rare' CD for those familiar with my work. (As such, with the exception of a live version of My Island Home, songs from the Warumpi Band catalouge are not included here).

It is not easy to meet the requirements of public and personal interest. The first being the need to present material that is known or familiar. The latter being the need to include songs that represent benchmarks in my writing whether popular or not. In the end, both requirements can never be fully met. "About Time" is thus, a compromise. It's not the whole story but it's a guide to where I've been.

I was enchanted by songs. Songs I heard in the air, coming from the radio. Songs my grandfather sang around an old piano long before the coming of television. Like many of my generation I was consumed by the music of the 60's and 70's. Absolutely taken by it. Rock n Roll was an adrenalin-charged clarion call and I hurled myself into it. I had to sing and play. Nothing else seemed as vital. and then there was this other sound, coming out of the land. Like a giant heartbeat in the background, a murmuring, a whispering, a humming of insects and birds calling, wind sighing in old casurinas, distant thunder, rain drumming on the plains, the wake and sleep of the seasons. In the end it was the land that shaped me more and I would seek to capture it in song.

"Going the Distance" available to purchase online by Clicking Here
click here for song sample "Long Grass Band"

The 11 songs on 'Going the Distance' feature a variety of musicians. Mathew Earl, Alex Hewetson, Shannon Birchill, Tony Joyce, Rachel Taylor, Andrew Ford and Tonchi McIntosh all make their first contribution to a Neil Murray album. For others, such as Stephen (Stretch) Teakle, Lucy Eames, David Bridie, Clare Brassel, Naomi Radom, and Nick Wales it is a return engagement. Last but not least, Jim Moginie again provides valuable musicianship and production assistance. Fans of Neil Murray will know that Jim has regularly contributed to Neil’s records (beginning with the Warumpi Band’s Go Bush album) and it is wonderful to hear that relationship continuing on “Going the Distance”

As with 'The Wondering Kind', most of the engineering and mixing for 'Going The Distance' has again been handled by James Cadskey of Vault recording. Despite some initial recording in other locations, Neil decided to do the bulk of the recording and all the mixing in Sydney where he could utilize the support of both Jim and James.
Neil says: “Going the Distance promises something for everyone. More than any other record I’ve done, this album seems to mark the way forward”
