His music gave birth to rural rock and songs like “Hat Town”, “She’s my Ute” and “The Outback Club”” gave voice to a new generation of country Australia. Now he is back, stretching the musical envelope yet again with what industry insiders are predicting will be another ground breaking album – Beautiful Noise.

His new album Truth is Simple is proof of what can be achieved with the right blend of talent, application and fearlessness. The album gathers 10 of his songs, most co-written with an array of collaborators including Shane Nicholson, Troy Cassar-Daley and Jerry Salley, to create an album that not only highlights what a bright future Luke has but also how firm is his grasp of the history and breadth of country music. |
