This is gonna be the weirdest intro for a new artist (to me and probably to you too), but here goes...
While strolling YouTube for the Wiggles Cartoon song "Eagle Rock' from their Space Dancing OLD DVD (why finally crashed on us) to load onto cell phone to keep kid amused while waiting places, I see that the video actually gave King Mondo (aka the lead singer for the short)'s real name of Ross Wilson.
Welll, I've always loved King Mondo's voice and Eagle Rock is a pretty good kids song if you ask me, so of course I went onward and googled Mr Wilson. I found his website- Wilson has been in the Australian music business for FORTY years! YUP- he's an Aussie legend! His first band was Daddy Cool, then Mondo Rock (yes you can say AHA), then as a soloist. AND then I clicked on his new music page.
OMG === check out the video below for his NEW song just released- produced in Nashville by another legendary Aussie Mark Moffatt - and which as one reviewer has said "shows exactly why Ross Wilson should be viewed as Australia’s own John Fogerty, Mick Jagger and Delbert McClinton, all rolled into one."
I WHOLE heartedly agree- listen and watch:
Did you have the same revelation I did???? I would bet your did! FIVE little words:
GROWN UP ROCK N ROLL
Check out the lyrics for the song and you'll be even more wowed seeing them on paper!
Check out Wilson's YouTube page for more videos from his last tour- can't wait to hear more
from this album, which was just released in Austrialia last week, so it;s a hefty import right now for
us stateside. Cross your fingers for a stateside version or download soon!. If not, I'm off to ebay to order from Australia!
Oh and if you're wondering (I'm SURE the gys are-LOL) - the guitarist is fellow Australian Laura Wilde! Check out her Irate Live Video on You Tube- she can really ROCK with the boys- take me back to the days of Joan Jett and Lita Ford! And don't forget her website too!
