About this album

Dutch Tilders Direct is a strong showcase for one of Australia’s most respected bluesmen. Issued in 1979, the album presents Tilders’ blend of ragtime, country blues and old-time folk with a relaxed authority that made him a favourite on the live circuit. His clean guitar picking, unforced vocal delivery and deep command of American roots material give the record its lasting appeal. Rather than chasing gloss, it leans into directness and musicianship, with songs such as Simple Rag and Frankie And Johnny reflecting the traditional side of his repertoire. It stands as a fine document of his plain-spoken, deeply felt approach to the blues.
