Farmers in Australia Protest Water Crisis
January 10, 2008
The day he turned the taps off, dairy farmer JR Williams of Torrumbarry near Echuaca, got an idea. He had been unable to irrigate his pastures for his dairy herd and so he decided to raise awareness of the struggles of his region through music. And so this gifted songwriter-farmer put his passion for music into words with a song called “WHO GIVES A STUFF ABOUT THE FARMER”. JR believes the song which was released nationally in Australia in December 2007 when the water crisis hit hardest will help spread the message about what is really going on in Australia’s bush lands. His song expresses the region’s frustration of seeing water run to waste in the south of Australia as the government decided to pipe water out of the struggling northern irrigation system to supply the cities int he south. JR is also concerned about the social implications of young people on the land being forced to leave rural areas and move to the cities in order to feed their families.
“We need to work together to find positive long term answers for our irrigators along the Murray Darling River System.”

Tom Phillips and the Men of Constant Sorrow take country music’s long, rich heritage, dose it liberally with urban grit, and spit it back with a passion all their own. You can hear this on Tom Phillips’ new CD Downtown Cowboy. Tom Phillips and the Men of Constant Sorrow are eight members strong; Acoustic guitar/lead vocals, Accordion/vocals, Pedal Steel, Bass, Drums, Mandolin, Lead electric guitar, harmony vocals. At the core of the band is Tom Phillips. With the skill of an artisan and the soul of a street poet, Tom creates songs which range from hard core honky tonk to heart wrenching ballads. Tom Phillips and the Men of Constant Sorrow have 3 CDs of original material released along with one live recording which was released in 2004. Downtown Cowboy is their fifth CD.
