Interview with Watty Thompson

Season 2, Ep. 50

Watty Thompson is an artist from the Ottway Ranges in Victoria and he has just released his self-titled debut album, which is an epic collection of songs that dig deeply into the trenches of life and which are ultimately life-affirming.


From writing about and appreciating the natural world in 'City to Run' and 'The Beauty That Surrounds Ya' to honouring the end of a life in 'Mountain Sage' and 'Coming Home', Thompson is clearly a songwriter who is open to everything around him and finds a way to bring the fullness of his experiences into song. It's an emotional album, and an enriching listening experience, and it was great to have the chance to ask him about it.

  • 22. Kora Naughton returns with 'Head in the Sand'

    New South Wales singer-songwriter Kora Naughton released her first album, Nineteen, at 19 years of age and since then she has been a Toyota Star Maker Grand Finalist and released three more singles, the latest of which is the very catchy 'Head in the Sand'. Indeed, Naughton has quite a knack for writing catchy songs, which we talked about recently. Naughton released 'Head in the Sand' after a period away from releasing music, after recognising that she was burning out due to various demands, as well as having had spinal surgery. She talks about this, and about her plans for new music, in our interview.For more about Kora Naughton: https://www.koranaughton.com.au/Listen to 'Head in the Sand' on Apple MusicListen to 'Head in the Sand' on SpotifyFollow Sunburnt Country Music on InstagramFollow Sunburnt Country Music on Facebook Sunburnt Country Music website

She released an EP in 2020 and the single ‘Feels Like Home’ last year. Her latest single is ‘Drink About’.'When I was writing this song, it was the idea of catching up with someone you haven't seen in a while and having a lot to talk about andinevitably,a lot of things to drink about,' says Pye of the inspiration behind the song.When we spoke recently it became clear very quickly that music is soaked into Pye's marrow - she grew up in an intensely musical household and has been performing from a young age. She's also been songwriting up a storm over the past few years and is working towards an album release. We talked about that, and a lot more besides.For more about Clancy Pye: https://www.clancypye.com.au/Listen to 'Drink About' on Apple MusicListen to 'Drink About' on SpotifyFollow Sunburnt Country Music on InstagramFollow Sunburnt Country Music on Facebook Sunburnt Country Music website

  • 17. Baeden Faint on his 'Hometown Fantasy'

    33:02
    Baeden Faint was born in South Australia and currently calls the NSW town of Cobar home. He has just released his debut single, ‘Hometown Fantasy’.'This song is essentially me reminiscing on past relationships where it seemed everything was laid out. Ready for the white picket fence and kids,' says Faint. 'But also, that it was like having blinders on, as to whether it was a good thing or not. I wrote this song like a lot of other songs - with a bottle port, smoking alone late at night, with too much time for thinking.'Faint has an interesting background that includes a black belt in karate and a broken hand (or two!), which is not at all convenient for a guitarist. I knew there were some stories there and he was prepared to share them.For more about Baeden Faint: linktr.ee/baedenfaintwakefieldListen to 'Hometown Fantasy' on Apple MusicListen to 'Hometown Fantasy' on Spotify Watch the video for 'Hometown Fantasy' on YouTubeFollow Sunburnt Country Music on InstagramFollow Sunburnt Country Music on Facebook Sunburnt Country Music website

'This came from a morning we spent talking about what it’s like when you get out and see things,' says Dallas. 'We were talking about when you have awesome experiences, we have all had someone tell us how lucky we are to experience that.'It’s all about not living your life through someone else’s pictures and Instagram posts, don’t live your life through a secondhand story; get out and do it yourself.'I've interviewed Dallas several times, and our chats tend to be long because there's always a lot to chat about! And it's always interesting and inspiring, because she can't help but be those things. So settle in for lots of heart, humour and insight from this talented Tamworth native.For more about Ashleigh Dallas: https://ashleighdallas.com.au/Listen to 'Secondhand Stories' on Apple MusicListen to 'Secondhand Stories' on SpotifyFollow Sunburnt Country Music on InstagramFollow Sunburnt Country Music on Facebook Sunburnt Country Music website

Last year she released the single ‘Love’s Got a Witness’ and now she has a new song, ‘Little Man’, both of them taken from her forthcoming album.'I hope this song encourages listeners to embrace motherhood, with all the challenges and moments you wouldn’t change the world for,' Mahon says, 'and soak up the love that children give, and the qualities that children constantly display for us. This is a song that reminds us to cherish every moment.'Mahon and I spoke about the song, and her upcoming album, about balancing motherhood with art, and the music she's producing with her daughter and seven nieces. She has created a life that is rich in meaning and music, and it was so interesting to find out about it.For more about Kayla Mahon: https://www.kaylamahon.com/Listen to 'Little Man' on Apple MusicListen to 'Little Man' on SpotifyFollow Sunburnt Country Music on InstagramFollow Sunburnt Country Music on Facebook Sunburnt Country Music website
