This blog was created* partly because it gives me an opportunity to find out about amazing new artists and also because I\u2019d like to bring Australian country music, in particular, to as many people as possible. Since writing the blog in earnest from 2011 I\u2019ve had the great privilege of interviewing some of my favourite artists, and being able to hear extraordinarily good music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I also <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/sophiegreenauthor.wordpress.com\" target=\"_blank\">write books<\/a> (although they\u2019re not about country music).

In the past I\u2019ve included music from the northern hemisphere from time to time, but that\u2019s over now.
