cheaper from Graeme direct (see below), but the Pluto Press website has this interesting folk/country music social commentary video :

I've bought my book already - now I just need a good chunk of free time to get into it ... :~)

Subject: Singing Australian:publication and book launch

My book "Singing Australian: a history of folk and country music", has just been published by Pluto Press ...
Singing Australian traces two musical scenes, folk and country, along
with related crossover styles and movements, and looks at their place in the debates on national community which have permeated Australian public life over the last thirty years.

Details of the book, and a special offer for purchase, are available at http://users.tpg.com.au/adsl42wq/singing.htm
