ONE FINE DAY Cat# SV0575 
Andre Camilleri and The Broken Hearts are the latest addition
to Melbourne's Country music scene. Andre learned his trade singing
and drinking in the shadows of Malta's red-light district around the
infamous Straight Street, deep in the guts of the island state's capitol
Valletta.
In 2006, after years of drifting aimlessly around the world, writing
tunes just to "keep the devil in his hole", Andre arrived
in Melbourne. Here his luck finally started to turn when he found a
bunch of like minded musicians he had been searching for so long. They
are Chris Birnie on bass, James Stewart (T-Bones, Overnight Jones, The
Warner Brothers) on lead guitar, Brendan Mitchell (Dead Livers) on pedal
steel and Mauro Del Citto (The Rhumbats, April Seven) on drums. Oh boy,
these guys can play!
Andre's song-writing is firmly rooted in the Blues tradition, voicing
the lament of the down and out, broken hearted and alienated people.
Influenced by the likes of Robert Johnson, Woody Guthrie, Hank Williams,
Bo Diddley, George Jones, Gram Parsons, Johnny Cash, Townes van Zandt,
Roky Erikson and Jay Farrar the Broken Hearts have created their own
uniquely Australian take on 'good country' music.
Their first album CD 'One fine day and other songs' (released by Ramblin'
Man Records, distributed by Sound Vault Records) is receiving ample
radio play all across the country. More importantly, the Broken Hearts
are quickly establishing themselves as one of Australia's top live music
acts.
Andre Camilleri ‘bugged’ some mighty fine Melbourne musicians
until they agreed to join his band the Broken Hearts. The result is
a great country album.
