Dry Land Crop - The Sunny Cowgirls



Australia is legendary for its music, of course, on a per capita basis every bit the equal of the US or UK, Gotye or Tame Impala or Courtney Barnett ample proof of that.  But who knew that Australia had a country music tradition complete with capital at Tamworth?  And if American country music had its origins in the hillbilly traditions of Appalachia, this is pure 'western', complete with cowboys and sunsets.  Best of all: they celebrate the land and rural life, far from the city and liking it that way.  Move over, First Aid Kit.  This is the real thing.  Who cares if the cows are mostly sheep?
