Ian McNamara, commonly known as “Macca” is an Australian radio personality best known for hosting the show ‘Australia All Over’. His ABC Sunday morning show is broadcast nationally across Australia to over a million listeners every week and has aired since 1985.
Ian has composed the show’s theme, as well as songs and poems for many years for his own Currawong Music catalogue. ORiGiN™ looks after Macca’s catalogue and also helps him put together his annual compilation albums of the wide selection of great stuff you can hear every Sunday on Australia All Over with Macca.
Now, for the first time, here is a selection of many of the songs Macca recorded together on the fresh new album release "Macca On The Line". Twenty one songs recorded by Macca over the years including a few with guest vocalists Kevin Bennett, Andrea Muhoberac and Digger Revell. The variety of songs includes compositions by Billy Swan, Rodney Crowell, Otis Blackwell, Leiber & Stoller, Lyle Lovett, Don Gibson and Ian McNamara himself. Notable is Macca’s arrangement of the great Jimmy Webb song “The Highwayman” song re-interpreted here as “The Bushranger”.
After many years on vinyl, cassette and compact discs it’s great to have Macca on-line.
