Song title: Following My Own Tracks
Artist: The Whitlams
Year: 1995
Why I like this song:
Recently I've been listening to the Whitlams album Undeniably.
While the Whitlams became huge off of the back of Eternal Nightcap and No Aphrodisiac, it would be easy to forget that they were originally three guys: Andy, Stevie and Tim.
I knew little of the Whitlams pre-No Aphrodisiac, bar the delightful I Make Hamburgers, so hearing this album is quite a surprise: Lead vocal and song-writing duties are split between Tim and Stevie and there is plenty of humour throughout. Certainly there are signs of the depression that dogged Stevie, not least in the above song, but this is certainly a different beast compared to what would come afterwards.
And for that reason alone, to deserves to be remembered.
