The title track to Beccy Cole's 2015 album. I can't believe it is 18 years since i first discovered the music of Beccy Cole. The song was 'Big Girls' and it was a taste of what i would continue to love and treasure about her music: witty, distinctive and quality in spades. I have pursued each and every album Beccy has recorded in the near two decades since that single. Many of her songs are significant parts of my timeline and soundtrack to some often turbulent and heady experiences. I am very grateful to her for the wondrous melodies, harmonies and often poignant stories she so expertly weaves into four minute country confections. I still believe Beccy is one of the unheralded great vocalists in Australia. If you have heard her belt out a bluesy number or a tender elegiac ballad to the diggers, you will know what a versatile and powerful performer Beccy Cole is. In an industry that tends to honour the same singers over and over, Beccy, while the proud owner of multiple Golden Guitars has earned a place just as rightful as that reserved for Kasey Chambers or Troy Cassar Daley. I am keeping my fingers crossed that this will be the year that Beccy is finally awarded an ARIA for Country Release for 'Sweet Rebecca'. The album is filled with Beccy Cole classics - including the moving 'Broken Soldiers', the tender tribute to her teenage son 'Happy 16' and this very personal and reflective title tune. I do not own any of the pics or audio featured in this clip but i do possess a very hearty admiration of Beccy Cole's music and spirit. I hope all who discover this, will also embrace it.
