The duo at the core of Halfway, John Busby and Chris Dale, come from Rockhampton, and well do they recall how hard it was growing up in the self-proclaimed Beef Capital of Australia in the 1980s.

The first proper song on this album – and really its scene-setter and centerpiece – is “Bret Canham’s Leather Jacket,” about a kid they knew who, with his penchant for ‘weird’ clothes/hairstyles/music, stood out in Rocky and suffered for it. Canham refused to submit; flaunted it; wore a defiant smile even as he was knocked down; eventually torched Rocky and lived his dream, or at least gave it a shot, in a relatively more tolerant Brisbane. Halfway’s story is drawn with a similar narrative arc.

From Brisbane, it’s a long way to go to Nashville to make a record that’s not very country but very Rockhampton – just as Grant McLennan, who was conspicuously also a Rocky boy, had to go to London to write “Cattle & Cane.” It’s often, as they say, only the road out of town that leads you back to yourself. This golden album is another milestone on that road
