Tim Winton: Dirt Music
Various Artists

ABC Classics 472 046-2 (2 CD, Australia, 2001)

This is the “soundtrack” to Tim Winton’s novel Dirt Music (Picador, 2001, ISBN 0-330-36323-9). The music was chosen by the author and Lucky Oceans. It includes both bluegrass and classical music and is embodied by a quote from the book: “Anything you could play on a verandah. You know, without electricity. Dirt music.”
