^Sweet.. I'll have to check that one out :cool:

Have you heard of Whitley before by the way? I'm never quite sure how much exposure Aussie artists get overseas <_<

I'd heard of him before, but I think I'm probably one of the few. About a year ago, I read an article about him in which he was filed under 'for fans of Jeff Buckley' so I decided so seek out some of his stuff. He's certainly not an artist that a UK fan could get into by chance though - a little digging is definitely required.

^Ah, I figured as much. This song was actually from a really interesting album released a few years ago called No Man's Woman, which features a bunch of Australian male artists covering songs originally perfomed by females. There's some pretty cool stuff on there.. you might like it :ninja:
