John Williamson is a famous Australian country musician, known mostly for his album ‘Mallee Boy’, which was his nickname since he grew up in a town having the same name. Having been trained to play the ukulele, guitar and harmonica, this talented musician started out by forming a small band in his college. Later, he began writing his own songs and composing music for them, performing them at local pubs. One of the songs, ‘Old Man Emu’, was popular in particular, and caught the attention of ‘Fable Records’ proprietor, Ron Tudor. Though the song was a hit, his initial albums did not take off, and it took the aspiring artist a long time to gain recognition. He formed another group called ‘Crow’, the name of which was later changed to ‘Sydney Radio’. After the band fell apart, Williamson began to play alone, once again at clubs. This time, however, his fan following started building up, and his popularity had increased. He went on from there to produce award-winning albums like ‘Warragul’, ‘Boomerang Café’, and 'Anthems – A Celebration of Australia', amongst many more. He also has a music production company, 'Gumleaf Recordings', and an enterprise dealing in merchandise, called ‘The Fair Dinkum Road Co'. Over the years, this splendid musician has won numerous admirers, not just in his native of Australia, but all across the globe
