Australian songstress COURTNEY BARNETT started her journey back in 2009.
With every album, 4 so far and several collaborations, she gained more fans and
critical praise and worked her way up to the top of indie’s crème de la crème.
Between 2012 and 2018 she was also the guitarist in her now ex-girlfriend’s band.
At first, her music was branded as ‘slacker rock’ but over the years she showed
her versatility as a singer-songwriter. Also, live she delivers. First time I saw her
was in Brussels in 2014 (11 years ago) playing in a club in front of only 50 people.
She already showed her charismatic and entertaining stage presence.

Her latest LP Some Things Take Time, Take Time dates from 2021.
CB is back now with brand-new single, named STAY IN THE LANE
No news (so far) of a new longplayer.
It’s a rowdy rock piece.
Rougher than ever before.
“Gotta get this off my chest
This never would’ve happened
if I stayed in my lane,
stayed the same way.”
Watch the accompanying video clip, which made me think instantly of that classic movie ‘One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest’ with a brilliant Jack Nicholson (one of my fav actors of all time).
