We round out our series of "Australia Plays America" with Episode 3; an eclectic mix of Australian Music, spanning the years 1947-1993. Be prepared for some wild genre swings as we showcase tunes from artists as diverse as Lee Kernaghan to The Missing Links. There's a number of instrumentals in this episode with a range of musicians spanning from Graeme Bell to The Joy Boys. Our two "Three-Track-Sets" in this episode focus on Hawaii and Memphis. There's plenty of great Australian Music to hear; enjoy listening!

In Episode 2 of "Australia Plays America", we have a wider timespan: 1940-2001. We'll hear two sets of three tracks, one focussing on Kentucky, and the other, California. There'll be a Surf tune set in a far-flung place of the USA and a cover of "The Banks of the Ohio", several years before it was a hit for Olivia Newton-John. There's also the final high-charting hit for a legendary Australian Rock band. Take the listening journey as Australia (musically) criss-crosses America!

Under the banner of Australian Music Archives, the first episode of Theme Time; Australia Plays America. This episode takes the form of a DJ set in deference to my ailing voice; maximum music and minimal talk. In this episode, we explore the Americanisation of Australian Music, post WWII. We'll hear artists as diverse as The Purple Hearts and Bruce Woodley. We'll hear music that references American cities, states and even the Civil War! The series is titled "It's Theme Time" and is genre agnostic: Expect some big swings across the musical pendulum!
