ALEX HAMILTON
“To Win”

Alex Hamilton gets it!! Melbourne has always had a rich love for country music, not the daggy version but a music path that takes us to the unparalleled beauty of outlaw country music. If you can recall the remarkable scene from the ‘Heartworn Highways’ documentary, where a very young Steve Earle, Steve Young, Rodney Crowell and Guy Clark are sitting around a kitchen table strumming away to what would become outlaw country classics, Alex Hamilton would sit comfortably at that table. “To Win” takes us back to a time when country music was re-shaping itself into something the musicians playing in venues around Melbourne love and understand. Everywhere I look it’s happening in our southern town, I can sense the excitement in Alex’s songwriting on his new album ‘Trouble in Paradise’, he gets it!! This is a stunning piece of work.
