#RossWilson "attempted" to cross over into country with his 2003 album COUNTRY AND WILSON, but he failed pretty miserably 😆😆 with this rollicking gritty rockabilly tune which sounds a lot more like #ChuckBerry than #SlimDusty. 😄😄

This song is truly an iconic piece of Australian rock history.
#PinkFinks was the adolescent, garage band (literally in the garage) for #RossWilson and #RossHannaford, the "two Ross's" who four years later after LOUIS LOUIS was recorded in 1965 would go on to form #DaddyCool

After #DaddyCool in the early 70s and a much longer tenure with #MondoRock from the late 70s until the late 80s #RossWilson finally decided to fly solo with the 1989 album DARK SIDE OF THE MAN.
The song BED OF NAILS isn't exactly a love ballad. Wilson was letting off steam 😄😄

#RossWilson was always very capable of pushing the lyrical boundaries to the point of being controversial and offensive to prudes 😄
#DaddyCool' s cover of BABY LET ME BANG YOUR BOX was Wilson's most provocative chant 😄, #MondoRock 's defining COME SAID THE BOY a close second.

In 2001, Australian rock legend and veteran #RossWilson released a bootleggy kind of album which was essentially a compilation of odd one off songs he recorded during the 1990s.
On it is this blistering, brilliant live performance of #JohnnyOKeefe' s OZ rock classic WILD ONE.

One music video. No rules. Never break the chain. #MusicSky 🎧 #PatWilson
Not great, but notably the screen debut of 15yo #NicoleKidman
Pat is the wife of #RossWilson, of Daddy Cool and Mondo Rock, both significant bands in Australia. He appears from 2:45 in the video.

I know I have posted this song in its album form before, but not in its "live form", and when #JohnFarnham was singing it in the mid 80s at the height of his Whispering Jack heroics, it was simply beautiful and breathtaking.

Aussie rock legend #RossWilson was never the greatest songwriter but what Wilson excelled in was "music arrangement".
He was a master of knowing what slant to put on each song he recorded and sang - to differentiate between rock, blues and jazz to perfection.
Wilson never recorded a "dud song".

I wasn't going to post this blog, because the album of Mighty Kong which is the subject of it I regard as very sub par, but while editing it for the first time in 14 years, I discovered a great live song of theirs.
See link in post. A gem!
