About this album
Up From Down Under showcases Tommy Emmanuel’s dazzling acoustic guitar work on a polished late-1980s jazz release. Issued in 1987, the album helped establish Emmanuel as a virtuoso whose playing could be both technically fearless and immediately musical, balancing fleet picking with melodic clarity and a strong sense of movement. Across original pieces such as the title track and Raindance, alongside interpretive highlights including Lennon and McCartney’s Michelle and the Beatles’ Lady Madonna, Emmanuel blends jazz fluency, pop recognition and acoustic precision into a distinctive statement. It stands as an early marker of the wide-ranging style that would make him internationally admired.
