Listen "Fanny Lumsden's solace songs"
Episode Synopsis
I think we can all agree 2020 has been a YEAR. No one more so than country music singer Fanny Lumsden. Based in the tiny town of Tooma, on the western side of the Snowy Mountains, her release plans for her beautiful third album Fallow took a turn for the worse, when disaster and pandemic struck. But that didn’t stop Fanny. Her resilience, and optimism has carried her and her community through this year, and it’s why I asked her to share her songs of solace for her Take 5.Fanny Lumsden has been making music since 2015, but her new album is what’s really put her on the map. It’s been nominated for seven Golden Guitar Awards, leading the pack. She’s up for an ARIA for Best Country Album, and she’s gained a whole lot more fans with this heartfelt and acclaimed new record. Fanny joined me from her property in Tooma to share her story, some beautiful songs, and a big dose of hope.Josh Pyke - 'Middle of the Hill'Allison Krauss - 'Baby Now That I Found You'Fleet Foxes - 'Tiger Peasant Mountain Song'Melanie Horsnell & Steve Appel - 'Someone Like You'Debussy - ‘La Fille Aux Cheveux de Lin’
