The Blue Black Waves - Album - 2010

Reviews
The result, Baxter's third album, is a collection of 10 well-crafted songs including a thoughtful cover of Archie Roach's Watching over Me and, continuing the exploration of indigenous issues, story song The Ballad of Pemulwuy, which charts the life of the famous Aboriginal resistance fighter. Inevitably, the album is touched by an Irish melancholy that washes through songs such as The Liar's Tears and gives the title track, Blue Black Waves, a darkness and sadness.

Baxter is a gifted singer/songwriter who is attempting the near-impossible: to write songs about Australia while living in Ireland. The result is an interesting and provocative interplay between two different cultures”
