Music News - Announcing the release of Aly Cook 'Western Line' Music video
03 March 2017 - 0 Comments
A truly inspired songwriter, Aly Cook, travelling by train from Double Bay to the Blue Mountains after a business meeting, with no paper to pen this song, texts the lyrics line by line to her friend and Western Line is born. The 6th single to lift from the album Horseshoe Rodeo Hotel which has already produced 3 x number one radio singles on the Australian Top 40 Country Tracks Chart.
Producer Alan Jansson has prepared a special stunning new radio mix of Western Line which releases on Itunes on Friday 10th of March. Dominant are the featured guest vocals from two of New Zealand’s most Iconic male voices, the legendary Brendan Dugan, and the late Graham Brazier who sadly passed away after the recording of the album.
Aly Cook has encapsulated the ambiance and sheer energy of a rail journey from Sydney to the Blue Mountains, a trip she often takes, with the rhythmic vibe of the locomotive driven by the fiddle playing of Nik Brown (The Warratahs) whose stunning style is a prominent feature on Aly's album. This is topped off by the quirky “spaghetti western” styled lead break from Dean Hetherington (The Coalrangers/The Sou’Westers).
This stunning new music video depicts the old world charm of a train ride inside a classic vintage carriage and the modern views of the Sydney Western Line, so is a mix of old world and current times. The beautiful wooden carriage used for filming is courtesy of Glenbrook Vintage Railway in Auckland. Western Line is directed by Ken Khan and features Brendan Dugan, Nik Brown, the effervescent Aaron Coddel on double bass, and rail staff of Glenbrook Vintage Railway.
Aly Says “I wish to dedicate this single release to the late Graham Brazier. It was a privilege to know this raconteur extraordinaire, amazing songwriter and one of our loved Kiwi Icons, and to have him perform both the harmonica on my
number #1 hit Midnight Cowboys and perform a feature guest vocal on Western Line. Together with Brendan Dugan, two of New Zealand's musical Icons, I believe this to be the only recording that has ever brought their two splendid
voices together.
Alan Jansson’s special radio mix of Western Line clearly separates the two as you hear them, Brendan in the left speaker and Graham in the right “.
"I hope you enjoy the video which is as close to what was going through my head as I could wish for. I was thinking about the train rides of old time and how Sydney is such a beautiful place steeped in history… "
