Melbourne's soulful, alt country troubadour, Rick Hart, is thrilled to announce the release his first full-length offering Let Me In on October 27 following a string of successful singles. With Let Me In, Hart delivers eleven songs that showcase his
ability to seamlessly weave through country, soul, folk and rock 'n' roll, marrying beautiful melodies with heartfelt, often soul-wrenching imagery. Backed throughout by luscious female vocals and harmonies, Hart's own voice floats with soulful warmth and honesty over the soundscapes he creates. True to his traditional country roots, he
never strays or betrays the honesty of his songs.
“I want listeners to be drawn into the stories and be able to relate to the songs,” Hart said. “I want them to feel a familiarity with the songs, coming from the honesty of the lyrics and the melodies those stories are painted on.” Influences ranging from Kris Kristofferson, George Jones, Tom Petty, Rolling Stones and Fleetwood Mac shine through, yet never detract from the distinctive nature of Hart's own writing and sound. Heartache, whirlwind romances, homesickness, addiction, loss and healing, regret and hope, even schoolyard crushes provide a vast and varied scenery for the tales that weave throughout Let Me In.
“All the songs come from past experiences, or me just observing people I know who have been through those experiences,” he said. “The stories stem from me observing the landscape of things that don’t always sit well with me such as domestic violence, betrayal and addiction.”
Since the release of his 2014 debut EP Spiral, for which he was awarded the Australian Songwriters Association (ASA) Songwriter of the Year Award, Hart has continued to build a name and presence in the Australian country and Americana scene. His singles Levon Helm, Driver Alone and, more recently, the country melancholy of To The Grave, have brought further recognition and built anticipation around his first album.
“This first album is about opening doors, eyes and ears to Rick Hart the songwriter, a
storyteller, hopefully someone who provides listeners a distinctive sound,” he said.
After a string of shows through 2017 supporting the likes of country icon Bill Chambers and Things Of Stone And Wood, Hart will be touring through parts of Australia to promote Let Me In. See below for tour details.

The Master of Movies Jim Sherlock tells us of all the new films that hit the cinema's this week 

Australia’s bestselling historical storyteller, Peter FitzSimons, will be releasing Burke & Wills: The triumph and tragedy of Australia's most famous explorers in November 2017. It tells the stirring story of the ambitious quest of Burke and Wills to be the first Europeans to cross the harsh Australian continent, with the expedition battling the worst of deserts, the boggy mangrove swamps of the Gulf, searing heat and flooding rains. Fiona Hazard, Publishing Director, said, ‘Peter’s books take his readers on an immersive adventure as they experience, understand and are captivated by our history. We’re absolutely delighted to be working with him once again to bring this iconic Australian story to life.’
Matthew Kelly, publisher of both Kokoda and Burke & Wills, said: ‘It is a homecoming for Peter as he publishes his first book with Hachette for many years. I’ve enjoyed rekindling our working relationship and I’m excited to see this story told as only Fitzy can tell it.’
Peter FitzSimons first published with Hachette in 2004 with Kokoda, which went on to sell over 300,000 copies. Peter has since written numerous bestsellers including Gallipoli and Ned Kelly, and biographies of such famous Australians as Sir Douglas Mawson and Nancy Wake. He is also a columnist for the Sydney
Morning Herald and the Sun Herald.
Peter said: ‘I’ve always wanted to tell the stories of the colonial pioneers,. Burke and Wills is a CRACKER story, with more twists and turns along the way than their final, tragic, erratic path. I was particularly fascinated by their interaction with the Indigenous people, who did their best to save them . . . until Burke pulled out his pistol
. . . But I’m already ahead of myself. This is a prime piece of Australian history – and I can’t wait to tell you about it.’
