Bush Songs by Adam Cadell
All of these pieces are improvisations based on the melodies and verses of the Australian folk songs they’re named for. The songs were found in a book entitled ‘Great Australian Folk Songs’ collected by John Lahey (Hill of Content, Melbourne 1965).
This album was recorded on Jagera and Turrbul land.

Radical traveling fiddler Adam Cadell is a teacher/student of the instrument, one-half of the duo The Scrapes, and is based in Brisbane. Cadell flirted with a life and practice in academia and modern composition, but shed all that in favor of researching and playing with fiddlers from around the globe, including heroes like Tony Conrad and Henry Flynt. The shift from highbrow to a player of the people comes to bear with Bush Songs, his rendering of Australian labor folk songs. Cadell works every bit of his violin on Bush Songs, giving new life to these songs of yore.
