About Me

"Mick Cameron, of Headbelly Buzzard fame, on guitar, dobro & vocals, along with fellow Buzzard Craig Woodward on banjo-mandolin and Melbourne folk-scene luminary Tony Hargreaves on accordion, combine to deliver an album of Mick's original tunes - songs of procrastination, cards, driving all night, bus prangs, small towns (if you've ever lived in a small rural community you've gotta hear "Granny Died Playing The Piano"!) - country blues, hollers, waltzes and more, all delivered in Mick Cameron's extremely laconic style. A record of great charm, wit and beauty." Last Record Store review of first Sandilands CD "Waterhole". ********* " Is it the lost sound of prewar white bluesmen or is it the natural extension of Headbelly Buzzard's eclectic sound? I wouldn't attempt an answer. . . This album is a treat with plenty of tricks on the side." Tony Thompson, "RHYTHMS" **************** "There are songs that resonate, gritty, dripping in Mississippi mud; others are high and lonesome, dug up from some Appalachian graveyard. All, though, have a very Australian voice. Sandilands live third album is a wonderful sound-bite of their loose, soulful grooves, bayou stomps and ragged shuffles." Sunday Herald Sun, Melbourne. *******Catch the band live every Sunday at the Lomond. CDs - "Waterhole" (2003), "Cookin' Crabs" (2005) and new live album "no time to get high" (2007).
