Album Review: Franky Walnut - The Franky Walnut Reflective Drink Coaster

Daniel Cribb

If you’re not a fan of country music this release still holds some value with witty lyrics and catchy melodies. And if that doesn’t do it for you, use this CD as the title suggests.



If you extract the essence of what makes dad jokes so enjoyably cheesy and fuse it with some classic Australian country (Slim Dusty, John Williamson), you're left with Franky Walnut, an artist who is as Australian as a “redback spider and a funnel web spider having a root inside a kangaroo's scrotum”. If you're not a fan of country music this release still holds some value with witty lyrics and catchy melodies. And if that doesn't do it for you, use this CD as the title suggests.
