It appears that Keith Urban isn't the only Australian who can sing country. Bernard Fanning, former lead singer of Aussie rockers Powderfinger, who I've covered here in the past, leads this performance of his "Watch Over Me" at the 2006 Australian Recording Industry Assocation awards. The vocals on here remind me of Alison Krauss and Union Station, a band that I happen to think are fantastic.
I'm taking a bit of a risk here in putting up a tune like this, but I believe in it as a great song. There is a time and place for full on rockers like AC/DC and The Who, but there is also a place for acoustic strumming and harmonized vocals. It's not too far off from Ryan Adams and Gillian Welch.
