Massive thanks to Triple R - 3RRR 102.7FM for making Uncle Roger's latest release Album of the Week. It's a hugely important one, full of truth and hope and just downright classic songs!

Triple R's Album of the Week is Buluunarbi and the Old North Star, the debut collection of original songs from Roger Knox, beloved as the "Koori King of Country". A proud Gomeroi man born in Moree, Roger has been making music for decades, from singing gospel in church choirs as a child to touring with his family band Euraba in his forties.

Now in his 70s, Roger is writing and recording his own songs for the first time. His warm baritone voice carries stories of the Stolen Generations, connection to Country, and cultural pride. He sings of Middle Camp where his mother was born before being taken from her family, and Toomelah Aboriginal Mission Station where he was raised. He honours the sacred Boobera Lagoon, and the powerful legacy of fellow songman Dougie Young. The resulting record serves as both personal testimony and communal archive, offering listeners a pathway toward understanding, unity and healing.

Head to rrr.org.au now to read the full review, and make sure to also check out the Triple R Soundscape, featuring our favourite releases of the week.

Also out on Flippin Yeah Records this month is the new album by Kangaroos With Machine Guns called ‘Tryin Terget Te Dubbo’. The band, fronted by Archer and backed by a band of Boorloo brothers (luke and Ryan Dux, Todd Pickett), create a visual gothic alchemy on those rare moments they can actually share the same geography.

But they say it better themselves:

music is the union between the personal internal world and the mystical. Kangaroos with machine guns is a band that does not rehearse or write set lists. They are driven by the glittering glistening moment of creation. Many of the songs on this record are performed by the band for the very first time. They are not perfect but there is a freshness and vibrancy akin to a lightning strike, or a first or last breath. Turn the lights down low and let the music wash over and through you.
lots of Love from us to yoo
KWMG

This very special LP is available on pre-order right now. On black vinyl and a very limited kangaroo poo brown. Ordering details below:

A huge honour to work with Gomeroi songman and Koori King of Country, Roger Knox on his new album 'Buluunarbi and the Old North Star.' Not only is this Roger’s first studio album in over 12 years it’s also the first time in his 50 year career that he’s turned his hand to songwriting. Up until now Roger has been known as a master song interpreter but this album offers a collection of songs that talk of his own history, feelings and experience. For the past few years Roger has been working closely with songwriters Toby Martin, Jon Langford, Jason Walker and others to craft these stories that he’s carried with him his whole life.

The album comes out officially on May 30th but there's lots of exciting pre-order options with exclusive t-shirts and a zine which contains an extensive interview about the songs with Darren Hanlon.
